Authors: Melo Alyne Araújo , de Toledo Aline Martins , Emiliano Lariça , Padula Rosimeire Simprini , Carregaro Rodrigo Luiz
Published: August 2022

BACKGROUND: Physiotherapy interventions are well known and established in secondary and tertiary care. However, within the Brazilian primary health care (PHC), the role of physiotherapists is still under development, and there is a lack of representative data showing how and what is being implemented by these professionals. OBJECTIVE: The aim was to characterize the professional practices of physiotherapists working at PHC in Brazil. METHODS: This is an exploratory study that adopted a descriptive analysis based on the records of physiotherapists, considering assistance and sociodemographic aspects, in the period from 2016 to 2017. The following variables were extracted: region, federative unit and municipality, age group and sex of the attended user, condition/problem, procedure and place of attendance. RESULTS: A total of 318,780 procedures were recorded, concentrated in the South and southeast regions, with a predominance of clinical-assistance procedures and a higher frequency of attendance in Basic Health Units. Among the assisted users, the female gender prevailed in the age group of 20 to 59 years. Low back pain was the most frequently treated condition. CONCLUSION: The professional practices of physiotherapists working at PHC in Brazil were characterized by healthcare, clinical-assistance, preventive and health promotion activities, with emphasis on clinical-assistance practices focused on musculoskeletal conditions, especially low back pain.

Published: August 2022

BACKGROUND: Few studies have been done on the association of dietary intakes with sleep disorders among shift workers, in particular those exposed to air pollution. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to investigate the association of major dietary patterns with risk of sleep disorders in shift workers of a cement factory. METHODS: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 257 male shift workers in a cement factory in Iran. Usual dietary intake of participants was assessed using a validated self-administrated 147-item dish-based food frequency questionnaire. To examine sleep disturbances of participants, we used the Epworth Sleepiness Scale. RESULTS: Three major dietary patterns including Classic Iranian, Modern Iranian, and High Protein Low Fruit and vegetables were identified. The Classic Iranian pattern was mainly consisted of high-protein animal foods, fruit, and vegetables, while the Modern Iranian pattern had high amounts of refined grains, solid oils, and caffeine drinks. No significant association was found between adherence to the Classic Iranian pattern and risk of sleep disorders (OR: 2.33; 95% CI: 0.69, 7.81) and also for the Modern Iranian dietary pattern (OR: 0.62; 95% CI: 0.20, 1.93). However, we found a significant direct association between the High Protein Low Fruit and vegetables dietary pattern and risk of sleep disorders (OR: 3.92; 95% CI: 1.03, 14.86). CONCLUSIONS: This study showed a significant direct association between a dietary pattern high in animal proteins and solid oils and low in fruit and vegetables with risk of sleep disorders among shift workers in the cement factory. However, no such association was found for the two other dietary patterns.

BACKGROUND: There is a dearth of research about occupational health and safety experience in Indigenous communities and compensation applications from Indigenous workers appear limited. OBJECTIVE: This qualitative descriptive study was designed to explore workers’ compensation experiences in some Canadian Indigenous communities. METHODS: A community-based participatory research approach was used to conduct focus groups (n = 25 participants) in three Northeastern Ontario (NEO) Indigenous communities and at one NEO Indigenous employment centre. Semi-structured focus group questions addressed community experience with workers’ compensation, the compensation process, and discussion of a training session about the process. Reflexive thematic analysis followed Braun and Clarke procedures. RESULTS: Discussion with study participants resulted in these themes: 1) both lack of knowledge, and knowledge, about compensation demonstrated, 2) impact of lack of compensation coverage and need for universal coverage on reserve, 3) need for community training sessions about workers’ compensation, 4) workload and financial impact of workers’ compensation on reserve, and 5) requirement for cultural competence training in the compensation board. CONCLUSIONS: This qualitative descriptive study revealed the: need for more information about applying for workers’ compensation and navigating the process, need for universal workplace insurance coverage in Indigenous communities, demand for community-based compensation process training, community costs of compensation, and the requirement for cultural safety and competence training for compensation organization employees. More education about the workers’ compensation process would be of benefit to leadership, health care providers, administrative personnel, employers, and employees on reserves. Nurses in community health centres are well situated to provide further guidance.
تکریم انسانیت: اسلام اور ہندو مت کا مطالعہ
Authors: Rai Usman Abbas  , Hafiz Zahid Latif
Published: August 2022

Allah Almighty has created man with honor, respect and reverence and taught us to treat others similarly. Every religion has laid down its own set of rules for respecting humanity. In addition, it is essential that humans must respect other humans. When a child gain consciousness after birth, he/she associate and adapts to a particular religion of their parents or through their environment. The fundamental principles of that religion are very essential to him/her in conducting and regulating matters of life. Due to this reason, mankind learns the teachings of his religion and try to incorporate those in their lives as laws and legislations. In this paper, we are going to compare and contrast the teachings of Islam (a monotheistic religion) and Hinduism (a polytheistic religion) in terms of respecting humanity. Where Islam preach concepts like equality among human beings, fair distribution of inheritance, rights of humans superseding over the rights of Allah, women rights and the concept of salvation etc. On the contrary, Hinduism endorses division of caste, recognizing Brahmans as sacred, cruelty to Shudras, the concept of metempsychosis and inequitable distribution of inheritance etc. This paper aims to study the disparities in minute detail.

A Philosophical Analysis of the Foundational Suppositions in Harm Reduction Theory and Practice
Authors: Du Plessis Guy
Published: August 2022

In this essay, I provide a brief philosophical analysis of some of the foundational suppositions that often underlie harm reduction theories and interventions. I deliberately take on the ‘strong’ versions of these suppositions in order to reveal what I consider to be at stake. I will limit my focus to three theoretical orientations (or ‘-isms’), often advanced by harm reduction proponents, which contribute to internal inconsistencies within harm reduction theory and interventions. These are (1) _relativism_, which leads to conflation of drug use and addiction as concepts and to conflation of ‘drugs’ in general, (2) _collectivism_, which prioritises the common good over that of the individual, and (3) _determinism,_ which represents people with addiction as victims with limited agency. I conclude by proposing that adopting the perspectives of ontological realism, critical realism and integral pluralism could articulate a conceptualisation of drug use and addiction that can ameliorate the conceptual challenges and internal inconsistencies present in harm reduction theory and practice.

Social camouflaging and mental health in adolescence: differences by sex and diagnosis
Authors:   , Bernardin Courtney Jorgenson
Published: August 2022

Camouflaging is a term used to describe the set of strategies that autistic individuals use to hide or mask autistic traits. Importantly, nonautistic individuals can also camouflage, as autistic traits are distributed throughout the general population. Some studies suggest that autistic females camouflage more than autistic males, and many studies have found that camouflaging is negatively associated with mental health and wellbeing in autistic individuals. However, research in this area has mainly focused on adults and has included few comparisons between autistic and nonautistic individuals. The goals of the two studies included in this thesis were to 1) compare levels of camouflaging by sex and diagnosis in autistic and neurotypical adolescents and 2) to examine age, sex, autism diagnosis, and camouflaging as predictors of depression, anxiety, and stress levels in autistic and non-autistic adolescents. The first study found that females reported higher levels of camouflaging when not accounting for age, but that an age-by-diagnosis interaction effect emerged. This interaction showed that older nonautistic adolescents reported significantly higher levels of camouflaging than younger nonautistic adolescents, but the reported camouflaging levels of older and younger autistic adolescents did not differ significantly across the age groups. Findings of the second study suggest that level of camouflaging is an important predictor of depression, anxiety, and stress in autistic and non-autistic adolescents and that camouflaging may be particularly distressing for females, regardless of diagnosis. These findings inform our understanding of camouflaging, how it may develop differently across autistic and nonautistc individuals, and its consequences in adolescence.
Three essays on the impact of public policies on the health and educational outcomes of young adults
Authors:   , Hamilton Christal
Published: August 2022

Young adulthood is a critical time in the life course when access to resources and opportunities help determine later in life outcomes. To contribute to the research on young adults, this dissertation uses restricted health and education data, as well as quasiexperimental and descriptive analyses to evaluate how two public polices improve outcomes for young adults. The first essay focuses on effects on young adults' health outcomes, while the second and third chapters focus on impacts to educational outcomes and opportunities. Together, these chapters highlight the important role public policies can play in improving outcomes for disadvantaged groups.
Synthesis and spectroelectrochemical study of novel polyhedral borane derivatives
Authors:   , Madugula Dronareddy
Published: August 2022

The substitution chemistry of dodecahydro-closo-dodecaborate (2-) and decahydro-closodecaborate (2-) as well as the spectroelectrochemical properties of the resulted compounds which we refer to herein as "polyaryl boranes" was investigated in this research. Polyaryl boranes are a new class of organic-inorganic hybrid nanomolecular ions derived from the substitution chemistry between polyhedral boranes and aromatic hydrocarbons. The properties of each polyaryl borane were dependent upon the composition and the structure of bound ligands, and these maybe tailored through chemical modification of the surface. Analytical tools such as high-resolution mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance and infra-red spectroscopies were employed for the structural characterization of polyaryl boranes. Methods have been optimized for making, controlling and analyzing the polyaryl boranes. These polyarylation reactions are found to be acid catalyzed. On the contrary, the presence of minute amounts of base inhibited the reaction progress any further. Threedimensional aromaticity resulted from the delocalization of [pi] electrons from aromatic hydrocarbon ligands into the boron-cage framework via the newly formed exo-hedral B-C bonds. Polyaryl borane clusters are found to exhibit interesting electronic and spectroscopic properties including high-solution phase fluorescence quantum yields, high molar absorptivities and extra-ordinarily large stoke shifts. The electrochemical studies revealed multiple reversible and/or quasi-reversible redox processes at different oxidation states of polyaryl boranes. Furthermore, the fluorescence emission, excitation and absorption spectra for most polyaryl boranes change reversibly upon applying product-specific electrochemical potentials, thus resulting in redox controlled fluorescence switching and electrochromism. Also, the molar absorptivities of polyaryl boranes found to be much higher compared to their respective ligands alone. This research suggests that the new nanomaterials synthesized may have the potential for applications in biomedical imaging and sensor development.
The role of hepatic mitochondrial function and mitochondrial turnover in the development and progression of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and lifestyle modifications to treat the disease
Authors:   , Moore Mary Patricia
Published: August 2022

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its more advanced form steatohepatitis (NASH) is associated with obesity and is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular, liver-related, and all-cause mortality. Available human data examining hepatic mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation and hepatic mitochondrial turnover in NAFLD, and NASH are scant. Further, the mechanistic effects of weight loss induced by diet and exercise on histological outcomes of NAFLD/NASH are poorly understood. Data from this dissertation demonstrates a reduction in hepatic mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation and the rate limiting enzyme in [beta]-oxidation ([beta]-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase activity) by ~50 percent in individuals with moderate [NAFLD activity score (NAS) = 3-4]; and severe (NAS [greater than or equal to] 5) NAFLD compared with no disease (NAS = 0). This coincided with increased hepatic mitochondrial reactive oxygen species production, as well as significant reductions in markers of mitochondrial biogenesis, autophagy, mitophagy, fission and fusion. Active treatment consisting of caloric restriction and exercise training to induce weight loss resulted in significant reductions in total NAS, intrahepatic lipid content, and hepatocellular ballooning. Changes in NAS significantly correlated with reduced body fat mass and increased aerobic capacity. Interestingly, hepatic fatty acid oxidation did not change at follow-up in response to weight loss induced by diet and exercise and did not correlate with changes in NAS or its components. The findings presented here suggest that compromised hepatic mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation and mitochondrial turnover are intimately linked to increasing NAFLD severity in humans with obesity. Further, lifestyle changes aimed at promoting weight loss through dietary caloric restriction and exercise leads to histological improvement sin NAFLD outcomes that are linked to improvements in body composition and aerobic capacity.
The experience of living with hypertension: a narrative analysis
Authors:   , Oyewusi Christiana Oluseun
Published: August 2022

Hypertension, an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease, claims about 17.9 million lives every year. There is a largely uncontrolled hypertension epidemic, which results in significant numbers of life-threatening conditions such as myocardial infarction, aneurysm, stroke, end-stage renal disease, congestive heart failure, dementia, and stroke. Adherence to lifestyle modifications and antihypertensive medications is pivotal to hypertension management. Health literacy and social support are germane to medication adherence. The African American population has a disproportionate burden of hypertension. Churches are the livewires of the African American community, advocating multitiered changes that create healthy and supportive living conditions for long-term wellbeing, especially in underserved societies. While many research studies have focused on hypertension, little has been done to explore the illness narratives of African American adults with hypertension. Therefore, the rationale for this narrative study was to generate a deeper understanding of the lived experience and told stories of African American adults with hypertension participating in a faith-based wellness program. Purposeful sampling recruited African American adults (n=15) living with hypertension and participating in a faith-based wellness program. Individual interviews were conducted in person and via Zoom/telephone. Riessman narrative analysis, with the underlying paradigm of social constructionism, was utilized to guide data collection and thematic analysis. Six themes emerged. The overarching theme was self-care behaviors in hypertension management. The main themes were the discovery of the hypertension diagnosis, the realization of hypertension chronicity, the impact of hypertension on everyday life, and social support. Sub-themes were 'Where do I go from here?' and 'social support: not always up for grabs'. Roadblocks to social support included healthcare professionals' historical and current negative attitudes toward people of color. Self-care behaviors played a dominant role in managing hypertension for this group of African American adults who were participating in a faith-based wellness program. Routine medical screenings were critical in the early discovery of hypertension. The chronic nature of hypertension necessitates consistency in lifestyle changes and medication adherence, which may be enhanced by social support and health literacy. Future research should consider the development of interventions that enhance health literacy and social support from the healthcare system, family, and church among African American people living with hypertension.
Influenza virus strategies to regulate S1P-metabolizing enzymes and evade host innate immunity for robust viral replication
Authors:   , Wolf Jennifer
Published: August 2022

Viral infection is a complex network of interactions involving the host defending itself against the virus and the virus attempting to subdue host defenses and utilize the cellular machinery to promote its replication. Similar to other viruses, influenza A virus (IAV) manipulates and modulates the host cell to maintain control and optimize the cell for viral replication. One of the central obstacles IAV must overcome to further its replication is the type I IFN innate immune response. We have previously shown that sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) lyase (SPL) enhances IKK[epsilon]-mediated type I IFN responses. Here, we show that the nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) of IAV counteracts the SPL-mediated antiviral response by inducing SPL degradation. SPL was ubiquitinated and downregulated upon IAV infection or NS1 expression, and SPL-enhanced IFN production was strikingly inhibited by IAV NS1. Another IAV type I IFN-evasion strategy IAV is viral hemagglutinin (HA) facilitating type I IFN receptor 1 (IFNAR1) degradation. Further defining this, we determined that a cellular protein, poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1), plays a critical role in mediating IAV HA-induced degradation of IFNAR1. Knockdown or inhibition of PARP1 rescued IFNAR1 levels during IAV infection or HA expression, and PARP1 was crucial for robust IAV replication, which was associated with regulation of the type I IFN receptor signaling pathway. We have also found that sphingosine kinase 2 (SK2) enhances IAV replication along with multiple host factors. IAV protein synthesis during infection was enhanced by transient overexpression of SK2, and SK2 activity affected p21 expression during IAV infection. IAV infection led to increased SK2 and activated SK2 protein expression, and MEK/ERK activation was found to be important for this increase. Overall, these studies further define IAV-host interactions and reveal novel processes used by IAV to promote its own replication.
Visualizing COVID-19 with data: the effects of individual differences on perception of data in news
Authors:   , Alieva luliia
Published: August 2022

Mass media and public health organizations' efforts play a significant role in disseminating information and reducing the morbidity and mortality of infectious disease outbreaks. The vast amount of data generated about the pandemic led to the enormous spread of various data visualizations and infographics. Visuals served as the main tools that helped experts and journalists explain the consequences of the pandemic, communicate the facts, and persuade people to follow safety measures. Current research investigates how various formats of news messages such as data visualization and textual content affect an individual's perception of the message, such as message acceptance (positive attitudes about the message, intentions to follow prevention measures, and self-efficacy measure for behavior change), message rejection measures (defensive avoidance, negative attitudes about the message, reactance, anger) as well as credibility and effectiveness of the message. Political partisanship, need for cognition, and graphicacy were used as moderators. Results have demonstrated that the format of the message does not affect acceptance or rejection of the message, while moderators were significant predictors for dependent variables. The computational textual analysis illustrates the differences in topics between partisan groups where Democrats expressed more hope, positive sentiment, and more trust in vaccination, government, media, and science than independents and Republicans who were more prone to conspiracy theory thinking.

A keresztény–muszlim együttélés konfliktusai évszázadok óta jelen vannak az emberiség történelmében. A jelenséggel járó fenyegetések különböző módon befolyásolták egy adott régió biztonságát, társadalmi stabilitását. A legnagyobb biztonsági kihívást az erőszakos cselekmények jelentették, amelyek hátterében a vallási motívumok mellett az iszlám világ egy-egymeghatározó eseménye húzódott. Ilyen volt az iszlám ébredés éve 1979-ben, az öbölháború (innen számítva aktív az al-Káida, és ennek következményeként tekinthetünk 9/11-re), Irak megszállása, az arab tavasz, valamint 2014-ben az Iraki és Levantei Iszlám Állam megalakulása.

A mesterséges intelligencia (MI) egyre nagyobb szerepet játszik az adatfeldolgozásban, mind a polgári mind a katonai műveletek tervezésében és támogatásában, a hírszerzésben és elhárításban, elemzésben. Az MI egyik legfontosabb szerepe a big data „5V-s kihívása” által jelentette kockázat csökkentése (volume – mennyiség, variety – változatosság, velocity – sebesség, veracity – valódiság, value – érték). Az összadatforrású felderítés (all-source intelligence, ASI) kiterjedt, közvetlen emberi cselekménnyel folytatott, képi, rádióelektronikai, műszeres, radar-, nyílt adatforrású felderítés összessége, átfogó hírszerzési műveletekkel szerzi be és dolgozza fel a sikeres műveletek végrehajtásához szükséges információkat. Ezen eszközök, műveletek vonatkozásában mindig is kiemelkedő szerepet játszott a nyílt forrású információszerzés (open source intelligence, OSINT), amely mára az internet elterjedésével és a világhálón tárolt adattömeg feldolgozásával és elemzésével lényegében a klasszikus emberi erőforrású hírszerzési tevékenység (human intelligence, HUMINT) egy jelentős részét kiváltotta. Az MI alkalmazása az OSINT-ben az infomációszerzésnek mind a sebességét mind a hatékonyságát növeli úgy a szövegbányászat, mint a képfelismerés vagy az összefüggések keresésének és elemzésének vonatkozásában.

Background & Aims: Coronavirus epidemic, along with other countries around the world, in Iran, also raised the need for social distancing and home quarantine. As a result, the continuation of face-to-face education was disrupted and virtual education was chosen as a strategy for not stopping education in schools and universities. Alternatively, virtual education was adopted in order not to stop education, thereby causing new challenges for students and universities. This qualitative study aimed at investigating the experiences of university professors of the problems of virtual education during the COVID-19 pandemic. Materials & Methods: This qualitative study was conducted using conventional content analysis. The aim of this study was to answer the question “What is the experience of university teachers about the challenges of virtual education during covid-19 pandemic?”. Participants were 24 university teachers in different fields whom were selected with purposeful sampling. Teachers of different disciplines at the university with a master’s degree or higher who also had at least three years of teaching experience were included in the study. Semi-structured interviews with open-ended questions were used to collect data. Analyzing data was done through conventional content analysis with Lundman and Graneheim methods with Maxqda. Results: The descriptive results of the study revealed that the age range of the participants was from 30 to 50 years old. 62.5 percent of the teachers were female. Their teaching experience varied from 3 to 26 years. In terms of academic degree, 58 percent were assistant professor, 20 percent were instructor, 16 percent were associate professor, and 6 percent were full professor. Additionally, 66 percent of them were teaching at state universities. The results obtained from the qualitative part of the study included Technology-related problems with 3 subcategory, Problems with the teaching process with 5 subcategory and Poor interaction with 3 subcategory.

The seaworthiness includes the conformity of the parameters of the vessel's stability and strength to the permissible limits, which is provided during the port loading and discharging operations. Requirements concerning the ship's stability and strength are universal for all types of vessels and are postulated in the International Maritime Organization (IMO) codes and documents of the shipping registers of different countries. The cargo operations of bulk carriers are responsible moment, as it determines the level of their seaworthiness and maritime safety at the sea voyage. For bulkers raised strict requirements in regard of cargo distribution and ballast operations with continuous control of their stability and strength. The search of methods for optimal performing cargo operations of the bulk vessels with assurance of all seaworthy parameters at the safe level remains actual. The bulk carriers usually have instructions for their standard loading options provided by the ship's builder, the character of which depends on the specific cargo volume and the number of holds processed at the same time. For each standard variant of cargo operations, the instructions provide a sequence of stages of loading the vessel. At the end of each stage, the vessel must be in acceptable seaworthy condition. In the situation of non-standard loading of bulk carriers, which are not covered by the shipbuilder's instructions, there are difficulties with planning and conducting cargo operations to ensure proper seaworthiness of the vessel, efficient use of its carrying capacity. Ship personnel must independently deal with the distribution of cargo, sorting through various loading options, which is not always efficient and time consuming. At the same time, a number of restrictions on the seaworthiness of the vessel must be met. The purpose of this article is to analyze the possibilities of determining acceptable variants of loading of the bulk vessel, which satisfy the limitations imposed by parameters of the seaworthiness and marine safety. The limitations imposed by the requirements of continuous vessel’s seaworthiness were considered and divided into groups with a view to creating an optimization task. The general approach to formation of a number of permissible loading of the bulk vessel, proposed in the article, creates preconditions for setting the task of choosing the optimal strategy of carrying out cargo operations on the criteria of continuous observance of seaworthy characteristics of the vessel.
ВАЖЛИВІ КОРЕЛЯЦІЙНІ ВЗАЄМОЗАЛЕЖНОСТІ МІЖ КОМПЛЕКСОМ ГОСПОДАРСЬКО-ЦІННИХ ОЗНАК ГІБРИДІВ F1 КАБАЧКА В АСПЕКТІ ЇХ АДАПТИВНОГО ПОТЕНЦІАЛУ

Мета. Визначити ступінь кореляційних зв’язків між цінними для проведення екологічної селекції кількісними ознаками гібридів F1 кабачка: величинами гідротермічного коефіцієнту (ГТК) за роками досліджень та ознаками гібридів F1, що є структурними компонентами урожайності; показником “Ступінь розвитку хвороби”, який належить до вірусу жовтої мозаїки кабачка (ZYMV) та аналогічними показниками, які належать до ступеня розвитку борошнистої роси, бактеріозу та інших вірусних інфекцій, якими уражувалися гібриди F1 кабачка у польових умовах. Методи. Польові, лабораторні, аналітично-вимірювальні. Результати. Селекційну роботу проводили з 18 гібридами F1 кабачка іноземного походження. Проведено кореляційний аналіз між реакцією гібридних зразків на ураження вірусом ZYMV у лабораторних умовах та проявом інших хвороб, які зустрічалися у польових умовах. Встановлено, що найвищий рівень кореляційного зв’язку простежується у випадку порівняння ступеня розвитку польових вірусних хвороб та симптомів ураження вірусом жовтої мозаїки (15 статистично підтверджених значень коефіцієнта парної кореляції або 80,33 %). Виділися 8 гібридів F1 кабачка, у яких за всіма парами ознак відмічені статистично достовірні кореляційні зв’язки. Серед них, Alfresco F1, Rimini F1, Eight Ball F1, Firenze F1, Tuscany F1, Parador F1, Gold Rush F1, Cronos F1 (-0,50 < rp < 0,95). Низьку залежність від гідротермічних умов вирощування продемонстрували три гібриди – Mikinos F1, Jaguar F1 і Best of British F1. Перші два гібриди по суті не мали лінійного кореляційного зв’язку з ГТК (rp < 0,1) за проявом 3 кількісних ознак: “Загальна урожайність”, “Товарна урожайність” та “Загальна продуктивність однієї рослини”. У гібрида Best of British F1 спостерігалися слабкі кореляційні зв’язки (0,1 < rp < 0,3) між ГТК та трьома ознаками “Загальна урожайність”, “Загальна продуктивність однієї рослини” та “Середня маса товарного плоду”. Інші гібриди F1 мали високу залежність від гідротермічних умов вирощування, оскільки за проявом більшості кількісних ознак, що є структурними компонентами урожайності відзначилися помірними, сильними або дуже сильними кореляційними зв’язками p ГТК (0,5 < rp < 0,99). Висновки. Проведений аналіз кореляційних зв’язків виявив досить складну генетичну організацію кількісних ознак та їх взаємодію з біотичними й абіотичними факторами навколишнього середовища. Одержані дані дозволять у подальшій селекційній роботі значно полегшити роботу з прогнозу адаптивного потенціалу за проаналізованим комплексом кількісних ознак у проміжних форм кабачка, створених на основі вивчених гібридних генотипів,які виявили стабільну фенотипову реакцію на застосовані умови вирощування.

O desenvolvimento tecnológico, mediante a retirada de recursos naturais para a subsistência humana, gerou impactos significativos ao meio ambiente, influenciando mudanças no ordenamento jurídico, a fim de atender às novas temáticas. Nesse contexto, surgiu o perito ambiental, profissional cuja função essencial encontra-se voltada ao auxílio da correta aplicação da legislação, por isso, dentre seus encargos, realiza vistorias ambientais, sempre que alguma infração deixar vestígios, objetivando certificar a existência dos fatos e as possíveis causas. A questão norteadora do estudo, então, baseou-se na verificação da admissibilidade de um procedimento de vistoria, especificamente no formato de checklist, para a apuração dos danos à vegetação no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul. O estudo objetivou, portanto, a criação e apresentação de um checklist para a constatação de danos ambientais causados à vegetação no Rio Grande do Sul a serem realizados em vistoria pericial. Para isso, utilizou-se, como metodologia, a experiência profissional das autoras da pesquisa, visando contribuir para a aferição de danos, de acordo com a legislação vigente. Como resultado, verificou-se que o método checklist sugerido pode ser utilizado para a mensuração da degradação ambiental, quando houver escassez de dados e para a identificação do nexo causal, auxiliando na tomada de decisão do magistrado. Por fim, o estudo concluiu que a proposta de checklist compreende apenas atuações no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, por isso sua utilização em outros Estados dependerá de novos estudos e metodologias, visto que cada perícia possui características próprias.

Застарілі технології виробництва, ресурсна залежність економіки, порівняно низька енергоефективність вітчизняних підприємств, вимагають від України проведення радикальних реформ, які дозволять перейти вітчизняній економіці до високотехнологічних виробництв при дотриманні принципів економічної ефективності та сталості розвитку. Сучасні тенденції зеленої економіки змінюють сферу розваг та спорту, а особливо там де використовують транспортні засоби, стимулюючи автовиробників до відмови від використання двигунів внутрішнього згорання і переходу до електродвигунів, що в свою чергу приведе до зростання ринкової частки виробництва електрокарів та їх каршерінгу. Досліджено сучасний стан та перспективи розвитку малого екобізнесу електрокартингу у сфері розваг, місце перспективних вітчизняних моделей електрокартів на ринку світових аналогів. Проаналізовано прототип електрокарта, створеного у Науковому парку «SID Sity» при Національному університеті «Львівська політехніка». Пропонований електрокарт характеризується низкою параметрів, що засвідчують покращені техніко-економічні характеристики пристрою, а також дає змогу знизити собівартість продукції. Він може використовуватися у різних сферах промисловості, медицині, побуті тощо. Обґрунтовано, що поширення таких електрокартів сприятиме стимулюванню розвитку малого екобізнесу у сфері розваг та спорту у регіоні та країні, підвищить ефективність діяльності суб’єктів малого екобізнесу, які будуть його застосовувати, створює підґрунтя для прийняття гнучких управлінських рішень на засадах сталого розвитку, дає змогу враховувати його складові: економічну, екологічну та соціальну.

В сучасних умовах функціонування світового господарства наноіндустріалізація вимагає формування адекватних їй економічних і соціальних відносин, а також регулювання ринкового обігу товарів з особливими наноознаками. Обґрунтовання науковцями потребують глибокого методологічного узагальнення через призму еволюційного поступу промислових революцій. Четверта промислова революція здатна найбільш повно розкрити природу, рушійні сили та векторну спрямованість нанотехнологічних трансформацій глобального виробництва. Очевидно, що нанотехнології демонструють епохальну інновацію, здатну надавати останнім принципово нових, а у багатьох випадках й унікальних хіміко-фізичних і біологічних властивостей. Це набуде свого концентрованого втілення у докорінних змінах науково-технологічного ресурсу національних економік та їх конкурентної диспозиції на різних сегментах глобального ринку.
