Moral and spiritual aspects in counseling: Recent development in the West
Authors: Mufid Abdul
Published: December 2020

This paper aims to explore the moral and spiritual dimensions of counseling. Since professional counseling has developed in the West, the cultural identity and individualistic orientation of identity has entered the counseling profession. Recently a surge of interest in spirituality and religion has been noted with several treatments focused on a new approach to counseling. The new approach shows that spirituality in life is central to individuals, families and communities. Therapists examine the relationship between spirituality and general psychological health. Secular and religious professionals recognize the paradigm shift from illness to health and from individualism to collectivism. Counseling that develops from the premise of such a therapist must be free of value. The emergence of an integrated perspective with religious and spirituality counseling views has resulted in a fundamental conflict with the prevailing professional value system. Counselors still want to avoid the role of a moralist. The controversy also relates to the firmness one wants, the therapist attaching moral and spiritual dimensions while advocating certain values. Psychotherapy, as a moralistic company, requires modification in its training program. Therapists need to change their orientation, namely as scientists with deep moral or spiritual commitment. Clients need and demand reorientation like this. This profession has a claim to respond to the needs of its clients and it cannot ignore the impetus that arises in practice.

Authors: DÜMEN Sezer , AVŞAR Ercan , ÇEVİK Ulus
Published: December 2020

Air pollution caused by ozone is a problem which threaten human health. Therefore, prediction of O3 concentration is important. In this work, O3 concentration level for Adana, Turkey is predicted with support vector regression (SVR), multi-layer perceptron (MLP), gradient boosting decision trees (GBDT), K nearest neighbors (KNN), elastic net machine learning methods. Parameters utilized for this prediction are hourly measurement of pollutants like particular matter (PM10), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), nitric oxide (NO) concentrations and also meteorological parameters like air temperature, wind speed, relative humidity, air pressure, wind direction. Additionally, hour, day and season information are used as features. It has been shown that SVR method achieves the best result with R2 value of 0.9697. Furthermore, backward elimination method is implemented for feature selection process and according to the results, current O3 concentration has the highest importance to predict the concentration for the next hour.
BEYOND ONTOLOGY: ON BLAUSTEIN’S RECONSIDERATION OF INGARDEN’S AESTHETICS
Authors:   Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski University in Warsaw, Institute of Philosophy, PŁOTKA WITOLD
Published: December 2020

The article addresses the popular reading of Ingarden that his aesthetic theory is determined by ontology. This reading seems to suggest that, firstly, aesthetics lacks its autonomy, and, secondly, the subject of aesthetic experience is reproductive, and passive. The author focuses on Ingarden’s aesthetics formulated by him in the period of 1925–1944. Moreover, the study presents selected elements of Ingarden’s phenomenology of aesthetic experience, and by doing so, the author aims at showing how Ingarden’s aesthetics was reconsidered by Blaustein, a student of Ingarden, whose theory seems to lead one beyond the scope of ontology. Blaustein, namely, reconsiders Ingarden’s theory of purely intentional objects by interpreting it in a descriptive-psychological, or phenomenological fashion. The article is divided into four parts. In section 1, the author highlights historical interconnections between Ingarden, and Blaustein. Section 2.1. is devoted to Ingarden’s phenomenological approach towards aesthetic experience as a phasic structure. At this basis, in section 2.2., Ingarden’s early theory of intentional objects is to be discussed. Section 3 concerns Blaustein’s contribution to phenomenology of aesthetic experience. Given that Blaustein formulates his theory in discussion with Ingarden, section 3.1. is devoted to Blaustein’s critical assessment of Ingarden’s method, and aesthetics. Next, in section 3.2., the author presents Blaustein’s original theory of presentations, and its use in aesthetics. Finally, in section 4, the author lists similarities, and differences between Blaustein’s and Ingarden’s aesthetic theories.
REVISITING INGARDEN’S THEORETICAL BIOLOGICAL ACCOUNTOF THE LITERARY WORK OF ART: IS THE COMPUTER GAME AN “ORGANISM”?
Authors:   Institute of Computer Science, Polish Academy of Sciences, GLADDEN MATTHEW E.
Published: December 2020

From his earliest published writings to his last, Roman Ingarden displayed an interest in theoretical biology and its efforts to clarify what distinguishes living organisms from other types of entities. However, many of his explorations of such issues are easily overlooked, because they don’t appear in works that are primarily ontological, metaphysical, or anthropological in nature but are “hidden” within his works on literary aesthetics, where Ingarden sought to define the nature of living organisms in order to compare literary works to such entities. This article undertakes a historical textual analysis that traces the evolution of Ingarden’s thought regarding the nature of the literary work of art as an organism-like entity and uncovers its links with the simultaneous development of his systems theory and its central concept of the “relatively isolated system”: for Ingarden, a literary work and an organism are each a systematically transforming, “living,” functional-structural whole that comprises a system of hierarchically arranged and partially isolated (yet interdependent) elements whose harmonious interaction allows the literary work or organism to fulfill its chief function. Having completed that historical analysis, we test Ingarden’s assessment of works of art as organism-like entities in a novel context by investigating the organism-like qualities of the contemporary computer game; insofar as their AI-driven behavior displays a form of agency, such games might appear to be even more “alive” than traditional works of art. We show that Ingarden’s conceptual framework provides a useful tool for understanding the “organicity” of such games as works of art, despite the fact that they differ qualitatively from those art forms with which Ingarden was directly familiar.
Dziga Vertov — Boris Kaufman — Jean Vigo
Authors:   Mari State University, Artemeva Ekaterina A.
Published: December 2020

The article is an attempt to discuss Dziga Vertov’s influence on French filmmakers, in particular on Jean Vigo. This influence may have resulted from Vertov’s younger brother, Boris Kaufman, who worked in France in the 1920s — 1930s and was the cinematographer for all of Vigo’s films. This brother-brother relationship contributed to an important circulation of avant-garde ideas, cutting-edge cinematic techniques, and material objects across Europe. The brothers were in touch primarily by correspondence. According to Boris Kaufman, during his early career in France, he received instructions from his more experienced brothers, Dziga Vertov and Mikhail Kaufman, who remained in the Soviet Union. In addition, Vertov intended to make his younger brother become a French kinok. Also, À propos de Nice, Vigo’s and Kaufman’s first and most “vertovian” film, was shot with the movable hand camera Kinamo sent by Vertov to his brother. As a result, this French “symphony of a Metropolis” as well as other films by Vigo may contain references to Dziga Vertov’s and Mikhail Kaufman’s The Man with a Movie Camera based on framing and editing. In this perspective, the research deals with transnational film circulations appealing to the example of the impact of Russian avant-garde cinema on Jean Vigo’s films.
Contemporary Artistic Enamel: Stylistic and Innovative Development Trends
Authors:   Research Institute of Theory and History of Fine Arts of the Russian Academy of Arts, Perfilyeva Irina Yu.
Published: December 2020

Artistic enamel from the 1920s to the 2010s, has experienced a difficult path of development. In the early twentieth century, it represented a variety of techniques in regard to the artistic processing of metals. Today, it is an independent type of plastic arts, which synthesized both technical and technological innovations, as well as stylistic features of contemporary art and current artistic practices. In the history of artistic enamel several stages are clearly visible. The beginning of the process lies in the penetration of the principles of easel art into decorative art, which occurred in the first post-revolutionary decade due to the participation of leading masters of the Russian avant-garde in the creation of enamel works. During the second stage, the artists of the next generation attempted to combine the principles of easel painting with the national traditions that prevailed in the centers of folk arts and crafts. The third stage was inspired by the entry into the process of monumentalists and the active participation of Russian artists in international creative enamel symposia. In the fourth stage, the role of a structuring factor in the development of domestic enamel art was played by individual creative workshops that opened in different regions of Russia. Easel enamel of the 2010s is characterized by the multidimensionality of the artistic space, the creation of enamel works at the junction of different types of characteristics: both traditional and contemporary. These are classic “paintings”, panels and easel three-dimensional objects in which enamel is combined with other materials, but also monumental and decorative art objects and digital painting in enamel. Contemporary Russian art enamel represents an independent type of plastic arts, in which, in addition to traditional ones, there are numerous innovative author’s technical and technological techniques as well as methods of work.
Three Orthodox Temples of Lappeenranta — Art Through the Prism of History
Authors:   Kharkiv State Academy of Design and Arts, Zherdiev Vitalii V.
Published: December 2020

The article discusses the history of the creation of three Russian military churches in the Finnish city of Lappeenranta (Villmanstrand), representing vivid examples of stone and wooden architecture: churches of the Protection of the Virgin (The Intercession church) (1785), St. Nicholas the Thaumaturge (1904) and the Nativity of Christ (1914). A comprehensive analysis of the history of construction, architectural features and preserved decoration of the mentioned churches, which are significant for Russian Orthodox church construction abroad, is presented for the first time ever in the article. The Intercession Church in the Villmanstrand Fortress is the first brick freestanding Russian church built in Western Europe. The dynamics of changes of the temple as a result of reconstruction and renovation of the decoration is considered. For the first time, the church works of academician Nikanor Tiutriumov (1821–1877) for the Intercession Church are described and late painting interventions in unsigned images, which may also belong to Tiutriumov, are analyzed. The history of the construction of the wooden camp church of St. Nicholas the Thaumaturge is outlined, the uniqueness of which was expressed in the rich carved decor that distinguished the church from other Russian wooden churches in Finland. However, in the early 1920s the church was dismantled and only a few archival photographs make it possible to recreate its appearance. For the dragoon regiment stationed in Villmanstrand, a regiment church in the neo-Russian style was built according to Georgy Kosyakov’s design — the only example of this kind in Finland and one of the few examples of this style in Western Europe. After 1918, the church building was transferred to the Lutheran community and modified by the removal of domes and a radical redevelopment. The degree of embodiment of the architect’s original plan based on the author’s drawings and preserved photographs is analyzed.
To the 120th anniversary of the birth of A. V. Yarmolenko
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Mamaichuk Irina
Published: December 2020

The article is dedicated to the 120th anniversary of the birth of Professor of Leningrad State University, Honored Scientist A. V. Yarmolenko. The article contains a brief biography of A. V. Yarmolenko, a characteristic of the theoretical and practical heritage of her numerous works is given. It is shown the role of A. V. Yarmolenko in studies of children and adults with sensory, motor and speech disorders. Long-term research of deaf-blind people allowed Augusta Viktorovna to identify the stages of development of cognitive processes. In her works, it is shown that an in-depth analysis of the psychomotor functions of healthy and impaired children with a qualitative interpretation of the data obtained can be opposed to testing aimed only at the quantitative characteristics of individual mental functions. Dealing with the problems of multilingualism, Avgusta Viktorovna Yarmolenko for the first time identified the structural model of multilingualism, its variants, taking into account the function of language, its forms. The mastery of speech and the transformation of touch into a means of cognition, according to A. V. Yarmolenko, enables the deaf-blind to master the cultural wealth of the world. A comprehensive analysis of sensory, speech and psychomotor functions in deaf-blind people allowed her to trace how compensation for lost functions is carried out, and also to identify the role of the second signal system in the effectiveness of the formation of compensatory adaptations in children. The works of A. V. Yarmolenko were innovative and remain relevant today. The article shows the role of A. V. Yarmolenko in the research of theoretical, practical aspects in the psychology of impaired development, as well as the direction of her teaching. The main milestones in the scientific path of A. V. Yarmolenko, her formation as a scientist in a certain historical context are described. Attention is paid to show how her scientific worldview was formed — both as a result of the influence of certain scientists and her own practical experience of working with children (young violators of the law, deaf-blind children, etc.); it is shown how her ideas laid the foundation for Russian defectology and psychology of the deaf-blind.
Applicability of infectivity assay for the quantification of infectious human adenovirus genotype 5 in UV-irradiated wastewater
Authors: Rattanakul Surapong , Oguma Kumiko
Published: December 2020

The use of infectivity assays in domestic wastewater samples is limited because of the concerns around cytotoxicity to host cells, thus, the UV inactivation efficiency of human adenoviruses (HAdVs) in wastewater remains unclear. In this study, a human adenovirus genotype five (HAdV-5) host cell line (A549 cells) was incubated with wastewater at varied dilutions from 1:1.5 to 1:4 (the ratio of wastewater to a mixture of wastewater and the cell culture medium) and the cytotoxicity was assessed by the cell morphology and viability. No change was observed in either cell viability or morphology in comparison with control samples, even at lowest dilution of 1:1.5, indicating the dilution allowed infectivity assays. The minimal degree of dilution to avoid cytotoxicity may differ with different water matrix. Consequently, the technique was applied to quantify spiked HAdV-5 after the UV disinfection of wastewater. A significant increase in UV disinfection efficiency was noted in wastewater and hydroxyl radicals (OH•) produced by the photosensitization of dissolved organic matter were suggested to be responsible for the enhancement. This study indicated that dilution can be a simple solution to avoid cytotoxicity, and UV inactivation may be enhanced in wastewater due to OH• radicals produced by UV radiation.

Published: December 2020

Deep insight into the forces driving chloramine decay in different pipe materials is the key to taking sound action to cope with pipe water quality deterioration. By using the newly developed RTCDM (refined Total Chloramine Decay Model) and pipe section reactor, the role of four typical pipes in disinfection chemistry was qualitatively and quantitatively compared, and the mechanism of pipe wall mediated chloramine decay was further described. As for the four typical pipes studied, the characteristics of deteriorating water quality, especially for accelerating total chloramine decay was in the order of cast iron pipe > steel pipe > cement lined ductile iron pipe > polypropylene-random pipe. Cast iron pipes, cement-lined ductile iron pipes, and steel pipes of long service age are characterized by one or two driving forces leading to TCR decay. Aged cast iron pipes could take up chloramine by Fe(0) and microbes (especially nitrifiers) spreading over the inner wall. Aged steel pipe is characterized by aggressive electrochemical corrosion and weak nitrification. Lime and gypsum leaching is the main cause, and nitrification/denitrification may also occur in aged cement-lined ductile iron pipe. Polypropylene-random pipes have a minimum effect on disinfection chemistry. This knowledge is of value in speculating the reasons leading to TCR loss in the full scale distribution system.

Burla, controle de si e disfarce da comensalidade
Authors: Previatti Débora , Horn Bianca
Published: December 2020

A alimentação contemporânea é marcada pela afirmação de preferências alimentares que tensionam e transfiguram as práticas “tradicionais” de refeição compartilhada. Este artigo tem por objetivo investigar os sentidos atribuídos às práticas alimentares e os marcadores sociais em narrativas de indivíduos adeptos de dietas livres de glúten e/ou lactose residentes em Porto Alegre. Foram realizadas treze entrevistas em profundidade, além da observação assistemática de blogs e fanpages de celebridades referenciadas pelos entrevistados. Uma economia psíquica, de caráter disposicional e contextual, vigora nas sociabilidades por meio de intenso autocontrole e de mecanismos de burla. Estes são mobilizados a fim de escapar das convenções sociais, pesando sobre juízos de gosto, nos quais por vezes também operam marcadores de distinção social.

Authors: De Almeida Gabriel Mácola , Medeiros Amanda Menezes , Branco Dimitra Castelo , Lira Matos Pettra Blanco , De Nazaré Lopes Adalberto Lírio , Do Nascimento Liliane Silva
Published: December 2020

Introdução: Conhecer o perfil dos profissionais de saúde evidencia a realidade de saúde do território, sendo ferramenta de caráter estratégico para entender e auxiliar o processo de trabalho e a tomada de decisões. Objetivo: Analisar o perfil dos cirurgiões-dentistas dos municípios e o monitoramento de indicadores em saúde bucal da 1ª Regional de Saúde do Pará. Métodos: Através de estudo transversal, analisaram-se microdados da avaliação externa do 2º ciclo do Programa Nacional para Melhoria do Acesso e da Qualidade da Atenção Básica, totalizando amostra de 44 profissionais de equipes de saúde bucal da 1ª Regional de Saúde do Pará. Os microdados foram gerados a partir da aplicação de instrumento validado do Ministério da Saúde a cirurgiões-dentistas no período de 2013 a 2014. As variáveis foram agrupadas em quatro categorias de análise: formação profissional, atuação profissional, planejamento/monitoramento e atenção ao usuário. Resultados: Foi encontrado que 61,4% dos cirurgiões dentistas possuíam pós-graduação, sendo predominante na área de mestrado e residência não relacionados à estratégia de saúde da família. 97,7% foram contratados por meio de administração direta. Apenas 45,5% afirmam realizar o monitoramento e análise de indicadores de saúde bucal. Mais da metade dos profissionais revelaram não saber se possuem registro de casos suspeitos ou confirmados de câncer de boca na unidade. Conclusão: O perfil dos cirurgiões-dentistas foi de profissionais com capacitação predominantemente fora da atenção primária à saúde, com modalidades de contratos temporários que fragilizam vínculos e potencializam a rotatividade de profissionais. O monitoramento de indicadores de saúde bucal e o registro de pacientes suspeitos/confirmados de câncer de boca foi baixo, reforçando a necessidade de aprimoramento na origem e qualidade de dados para o sistema de informação em saúde.

Published: December 2020

Introdução: Um dos princípios da Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) é a abordagem do indivíduo dentro do seu contexto familiar. Com isso, a ESF lança mão de ferramentas provenientes de áreas como a sociologia e a psicologia, tais como o genograma, ecomapa, ciclos de vida, F.I.R.O, P.R.A.C.T.I.C.E e a conferência familiar, para intervir em demandas familiares que são direcionadas ao serviço de saúde. Objetivo: Relatar a experiência de uma equipe saúde da família (eSF) com a aplicação de ferramentas de abordagem familiar no cuidado de um indivíduo idoso. Métodos: Trata-se de um trabalho de abordagem descritiva e qualitativa, do tipo relato de experiência, em que as ferramentas de abordagem familiar foram utilizadas como método de diagnóstico e intervenção para avaliação da dinâmica familiar do paciente. Relato de experiência: A.B., 81 anos, polifarmacêutico, procurou a Unidade Básica de Saúde (UBS) com queixa de pressão na cabeça. Depois de escuta por parte dos profissionais, foi percebido que os sintomas se iniciaram após a morte da companheira, há seis anos. Foi decidido utilizar as ferramentas de abordagem familiar para intervenção nos problemas identificados. Logo após análise das ferramentas, foi percebido como ações de intervenção realizar orientações quanto ao autocuidado e principalmente reiterar o sujeito quanto ao convívio social, lidando com as questões do luto e relacionamento familiar com seus filhos. Conclusão: Por meio das ferramentas de abordagem familiar, foram propostas intervenções eficazes para melhora do paciente com a utilização de recursos que incluíam não somente o cuidado clínico- médico, mas também o envolver em espaços e atividades que favoreçam a qualidade de vida.
Notas sobre fracasso e diversidade: os sentidos do aprender e do não aprender na escola
Authors: Machado Maria Letícia Cautela de Almeida , Lopes Paula da Silva Vidal Cid , Senna Luiz Antonio Gomes
Published: December 2020

Este artigo é resultado de estudos produzidos pelo Núcleo de Linguagens, Alfabetização e Letramento da UERJ, no contexto do Grupo de Pesquisa Linguagem, Cognição Humana e Processos Educacionais. Em formato de relato de pesquisa de base teórico-conceitual, tem-se como objetivo apresentar uma discussão que contribua para o debate acerca das proposições teóricas que, embora se apresentem como um olhar interdisciplinar da Educação, acabam por supervalorizar uma perspectiva clínica e biológica da aprendizagem em contexto escolar, a despeito de ser esta marcada por diversidades em diferentes formas. Defende-se aqui que o olhar interdisciplinar direcionado aos sentidos da aprendizagem e da não aprendizagem deve dar relevo à questão da diversidade cultural e sua relação com os processos de superação e inclusão no âmbito escolar. O estudo encontra-se dividido em três partes: análise crítica das assim chamadas teorias biologizantes do fracasso escolar, com ênfase no papel que desempenham no processo de estigmatização do sujeito escolar; análise do papel dos estudos culturais para o avanço na compreensão do fracasso escolar, e; descrição conceitual das noções discursivas que contribuem para a compreensão dos processos de construção de conhecimento sob a perspectiva da diversidade cultural.

Published: December 2020

Este estudo, ancorado na Análise de Discurso de filiação pêcheuxtiana, reflete acerca da produção de sentidos sobre a escrita e o sujeito escolar a partir do olhar do discurso pedagógico. Resultado de pesquisa de doutorado desenvolvida junto a professores da rede pública municipal de Curitiba (PR), este artigo objetiva discutir como a discursividade médica, especialmente aspectos relacionados à patologização, produz sentidos sobre o campo do discurso pedagógico e, assim, concorre para o fracasso escolar. A partir da análise de sequências discursivas, discute-se que, no discurso pedagógico, o fracasso escolar está relacionado a processos de patologização do aluno.
A escola e o Ensino Fundamental I, frente às dificuldades de aprendizagem: aspectos para uma pauta de discussões sobre a (des)medicalização da educação e o êxito do(a)s escolares
Authors: Castro Rosane Michelli de , Reis Karina Cássia Oliveira
Published: December 2020

Neste artigo, exploramos aspectos sobre o papel da escola e o ensino de escolares, diante das dificuldades de aprendizagem apresentadas durante o Ensino Fundamental I (1º ao 5º ano) e que dizem respeito ao necessário distanciamento de diagnósticos que têm levado à medicalização da Educação. Focamos atenção em teorizações que ressaltam a importância do ensino intencional, da ação-reflexão-ação docente. Apresentamos aquilo que é própria da equipe escolar, as intervenções pedagógicas, em lugares diversos do espaço escolar com vistas a atender necessidades de aprendizagem apresentadas pelas crianças, sobretudo, aquelas com dificuldades na realização das atividades. Para tanto, priorizamos apresentar resultados de intervenções pedagógicas mediante a “aula passeio”. O público-alvo de nossa intervenção foram escolas de Ensino Fundamental I (1º ao 5º ano). A aula passeio, inspirada no pensamento de Freinet, permitiu-nos ensejar possibilidades outras para que as crianças reconhecessem e sistematizassem, com ajuda do(a) parceiro(a) mais experiente, as atividades propostas, principalmente aquelas favorecedoras do exercício cognitivo da leitura e da escrita pelas crianças consideradas com dificuldades de aprendizagens. Indistintamente, todas as crianças evidenciaram suas apropriações, mostrando-se exitosas em todas as atividades. Assim, consideramos que os educadores e demais sujeitos da comunidade escolar, especialmente, os familiares, não devem tratar equivocadamente as dificuldades de aprendizagem como distúrbios psicológicos ou psiquiátricos, recorrendo a diagnósticos que levam à medicalização do(a)s escolares, portanto, da Educação, e distanciam a escola e seus professores e professoras da essencialidade da ação docente que é didático-pedagógica.

Published: December 2020

Trata-se de estudo de caso longitudinal sobre um trabalho fonoaudiológico realizado em escola pública da cidade de São Paulo, que buscou fomentar estratégias educacionais não medicalizantes e potencializadoras do aprendizado de crianças com dificuldades escolares. Como aporte teórico-metodológico utilizou-se a abordagem dialógica de cunho bakhtiniano, que visa a compreensão dos discursos produzidos no espaço escolar, resultantes de um cruzamento de vozes, nem sempre consonantes. Este trabalho, realizado em três etapas, durante dois anos, teve participação de 20 professores, nas duas primeiras etapas e, na terceira, de 48 estudantes dos anos iniciais e 4 professores de seis salas de apoio. A análise dos dados coletados das rodas de conversas das primeiras etapas e das oficinas de linguagem da terceira revelou a existência de múltiplas vozes no processo de aprendizagem dos estudantes, ampliando a compreensão das dificuldades e favorecendo uma mudança de postura dos professores frente ao aprendiz com problemas. Professores mais potentes não só contribuíram para a transformação das dificuldades dos estudantes, devolvendo-os para suas salas regulares, como sentiram-se mais seguros em dar aulas nesses espaços, pois experimentaram suas próprias potências para o trabalho pedagógico.
The Reflection of Patterns and Clothing Forms of Various Cultures on Contemporary Clothing Design; The Peruvian Example
Authors: Bayburtlu Çimen
Published: December 2020

Hand woven fabrics and the patterns that they bear, are important examples of cultural heritage; reflecting the culture, customs and traditions of the communities, and the thoughts and emotions of the weaver. Peru, on account of the traditional woven fabrics, the colors used and the patterns with their unique language and meaning, has an esteemed stance in the history of woven and knitted fabrics. These woven fabrics, reflecting a strong national cultural identity; echo economic, social, political and religious developments. Establishing the continuity of the handicrafts; which exemplify the expression of economic, social and artistic transformation and are passed on through past and future generations; is possible by supporting knowledge by protecting, developing and sharing it. In this article, the manner of how traditional patterns and colors from different cultures affect current forms of garments are examined. In addition to this, along with a different perspective, novel clothing designs have been made based on the patterns and clothing forms present in Peruvian culture. Regarding the work within the scope of the study, the inspirational characteristic features of the traditional forms have been intended to be preserved, but the raw materials used, the techniques, colors and elements that make up the clothing design have been altered within the framework of aesthetic cognition. The designs have been attempted to be made universal, keeping in mind the memorability of pattern oriented consciousness.
Recent Advances on Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor as a Molecular Target for Breast Cancer Therapeutics
Authors: Shetty Swathi R. , Yeeravalli Ragini , Bera Tanya , Das Amitava
Published: December 2020

Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR), a type-I transmembrane protein with intrinsic tyrosine
kinase activity, is activated by peptide growth factors such as EGF, epigen, amphiregulin, etc. EGFR plays a vital
role in regulating cell growth, migration, and differentiation in various tissue-specific cancers. It has been
reported to be overexpressed in lung, head, and neck, colon, brain, pancreatic, and breast cancer that triggers
tumor progression and drug resistance. EGFR overexpression alters the signaling pathway and induces cell
division, invasion, and cell survival. Our prior studies demonstrated that EGFR inhibition modulates
chemosensitivity in breast cancer stem cells, thereby serving as a potential drug target for breast cancer
mitigation. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (Lapatinib, Neratinib) and monoclonal antibodies (Trastuzumab) targeting
EGFR have been developed and approved by the US FDA for clinical use against breast cancer. This review
highlights the critical role of EGFR in breast cancer progression and enumerates the various approaches being
undertaken to inhibit aggressive breast cancers by suppressing the downstream pathways. Furthermore, the
mechanisms of action of potential molecules at various stages of drug development, as well as clinically
approved drugs for breast cancer treatment, are illustrated.

Authors: Amnifolia Niazta Nisa , Ardining Hiradipta , Dzikrul Haq Karimullah Muchammad
Published: December 2020

Background: Cardiovascular system was the second most common organ system affected by COVID-19. Cardiac injury has been reported in many COVID-19 cases. The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between cardiac injury with mortality in COVID-19 patients. Methods: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis study. The relevant studies were identified through scientific electronic databases such as PubMed, Cochrane, and ScienceDirect up to August 2020. The study quality assessment was conducted using the GRADE approach. The pooled odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were estimated using the random-effects model. Results: A total of 10 studies involving 2619 patients were included in the meta-analysis. The incidence of cardiac injury in COVID-19 patients was 28.5%. The all-cause mortality was significantly higher in patients with cardiac injury (52.8% vs. 13.1%; OR = 13.78; 95% CI = 7.22-26.32; I 2 = 88%; Z= 7.95; P < 0.00001). Conclusion: Cardiac injury is associated with higher mortality in COVID-19 patients. The cardiac injury should be considered as an important variable in the risk stratification for mortality in COVID-19.

Published: December 2020

Problem statement. The compensation problem of the amplitude error occurring when modeling radar targets using matrix simulators is considered. The relations that reveal the concept of this error are given. The example shows that the amplitude of the simulated echo signal differs from the amplitude of the real one.

Objective. Justification of a method for correcting the amplitude error observed when simulating echo signals from radar targets using emitter matrices.

Results. It is shown that when the scanning radiation pattern is oriented normal to the matrix base, the amplitude of the simulated echo signal does not depend on the angular target position. Based on this, a method was proposed to eliminate the error through pre-distortion of the echo signal amplitude. The ratio for calculating the predistortion multiplier coefficient is obtained. In the framework of a numerical experiment, the amplitude of the simulated echo signal was estimated for various angular positions of the scanning radiation pattern without taking into account predistortion and with predistortion. The experimental results confirmed the correction effectiveness.

Practical implications. The results obtained allow increasing the adequacy of modeling radar objects by matrix simulators by ensuring that the amplitude of the simulated echo signal corresponds to the amplitude of the real one.

Authors: Makarenko A. A.
Published: December 2020

Problem statement. An unmanned vertical take-off and landing aircraft equipped with means for analyzing parameters of a certain pattern is usually not able to land on a landing site that is not equipped with the appropriate markings. To solve this problem, it is possible to install onboard the UMA means for generating a special test image that is projected from the aircraft to the intended landing site, and means for automatically measuring and analyzing the parameters of this image.

Objective. Develop an algorithm for applying digital image processing to determine the angular position of the ship’s deck or any other flat landing ground from an unmanned aircraft with vertical take-off and landing. The article presents the calculated relations that allow calculating the angular position and evaluating the general condition of the landing ground using a 3D model of its surface.

Results. An algorithm has been developed according to which a particular test image is generated by a group of laser emitters on the landing site. Digital image processing methods are used to analyze the test image to assess the condition and determine the inclination angles of the landing site.

Practical implications. The test results of the considered algorithm showed the possibility of its application in the system of automatic landing of an unmanned aircraft with vertical take-off and landing.

Published: December 2020

In this study, the effect of material temperature during casting on fresh properties, hydration kinetics, and early-age compressive strength of self-consolidating concrete (SCC) was evaluated. Concrete equivalent mortars (CEMs) based on SCC mixture designs with water-to-binder ratios of 0.41 and 0.45 were investigated. The SCC mixtures are targeted for infrastructure and building construction and precast applications. The CEMs were prepared at temperatures ranging from 8 to 36°C.  Superplasticizer (SP) and air-entraining agent (AEA) demand were evaluated for the CEM mixtures made with different supplementary cementing material (SCM) and limestone filler types. Test results showed that the ambient temperature can significantly affect the SP and AEA demand, hydration kinetics, and compressive strength after 1 d of age. According to the ultraviolet–visible spectrophotometry (UV/Vis) test, the absorption rate of polycarboxylate-based SP decreased with temperature. In contrast, the sensitivity of polynaphthalene sulfonate-based SP to temperature was minimal. Relationships between the variations of different admixture contents, heat flux, and compressive strength with temperature were developed. For a constant slump flow and air content, the demand of the SP and AEA, heat flux, and 1-d compressive strength of CEMs increased linearly with material temperature.

The changes that happen in technology recently have brought about significant changes in the field of education where it can improve the quality of knowledge with the invention of technology is creative, unique, and of course, it is beneficial to us especially among students. There is a growing number of interests in how these technological platforms are perceived by the users (students) and the effectiveness of these platforms. For this reason, it is essential to investigate the easiness and usefulness of such technology being currently used by students. To further understand the issue, the role of students' perception plays an essential role in the use of technology in education. Therefore, this study focuses on the students' understanding of the use of technology in learning among students at the University Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS) by applying the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Besides, this is an exploratory study on the impact of TAM on students' perception. An online questionnaire has been distributed, and a total of 113 respondents were collected, which aims to gather insight on the use of technology in the learning system at UNIMAS. Moreover, this study has used various analysis methods such as descriptive analysis, reliability test, factor analysis, and Pearson correlation coefficient and Partial Least Square- Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM) to investigate the role of perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness in determining the usage of technology in the higher learning institution. The findings in this study revealed that there is a positive relationship from perceived ease of use towards the use of technology among students. The outcome of the study identifies that there is a satisfactory level of technology usage among the respondents. The results also suggest that policymakers should ensure the innovation of technology to consider the ease of use and usefulness of technology (via training and providing mobile-friendly applications) to assist students' learning in the higher learning institution. The limitations of this study are that the sample is collected at the undergraduate level. It is recommended for future research to include respondents from postgraduate levels to see any difference in their perception of technology.
