Authors: Shalepo K. V. , Shipitsina E. V. , Savicheva A. M. , Domeyka M.
Published: December 2021

According to the Russian-Swedish project there was performed a comparison of methods used for Chlamydia trachomatis detection in cervical samples, obtained from 397women and urethral samples from 253 men. All specimens were examined by direct immunofluorescence (DIF), polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and cell culture (CC). In high-prevalence group (group I) chlamydiae were detected in 17,8% and 28,0% of cases in men and women, respectively. Ingroup II containing patients who were subjected to screening examination, chlamydiae were found in 5% of cases both in men and women. PCR was shown to be the most sensitive when cervical samples in group I and cervical and urethral samples in group II were investigated. When urethral samples in group I were tested, DIF proved to have the highest sensitivity. All the methods used were found to be high specific. The search for standards of genital chlamydial infection diagnosis is in progress.

İBNÜ'L-ARABÎ'NİN KELAM ELEŞTİRİSİ
Authors: İBİŞ Fatih
Published: December 2021

İbnü’l-Arabî’nin kelam ilmine bakışı genel anlamda menfidir. İbnü’l-Arabî’de bu bakışı şekillendiren ve belirleyen husus ise insanın hakikatle olan ilişkisidir. Sûfî kimliğiyle öne çıkan İbnü’l-Arabî’nin kelam eleştirisini belirleyen zemin de doğal olarak kendine özgü bir teoriyle beslediği bu tasavvufî zemindir. Ona göre insan hakikat yoluna ancak hâl, keşf ve müşâhede gibi yollarla, Allah tarafından (ledün) kendisine öğretilen bir bilgi aracılığıyla dâhil olabilir. Diğer yandan İbnü’l-Arabî’nin kelam eleştirisinde yaslandığı önemli bir dayanağın da Kur’ân olduğunu görüyoruz. Kur’ân’ın zikrettiği deliller kelamın delillerine ihtiyaç bırakmayacak kadar güçlü, sahih ve sarihtir. Dolayısıyla Kur’ân’a sarılan birinin, sarıldığı sürece kelama ihtiyaç duymasından söz edilemez. Ayrıca kelam İbnü’l-Arabî’ye göre aslında kuşku demektir, sorun demektir. Mütekellimler sürekli itikadî sorunlarla, kuşkularla ilgilenerek ve bunları gündeme getirerek farkında olmadan kendilerini ve başkalarını kuşkuya sevkederler. Buraya sürüklendikten sonra İbnü’l-Arabî’ye göre insanın kendisini kurtarması çok zor olmakla birlikte kendini kurtaran sayısı da oldukça azdır. Bu yüzden İbnü’l-Arabî’ye göre bir şehirde bir kelamcıdan fazlasına lüzum yoktur.

Authors:   Russian State Social University, Anchutina Natalya V.
Published: December 2021

Work on a musical piece is associated with certain difficulties and takes place in several stages, from reading from score to completing in the form of an exam or concert performance. The final stage, in principle, can be considered infinite, since there is no limit to perfection in the performing arts, and even more so if we are talking about the educational process. The form of the work, its structure, the character of the themes, identification of the figurative nature of music are directly related to the choice of technical and artistic means of expressiveness. The skills of this work are developed in the class of folk instruments in each lesson, since each work requires an individual approach to its mastery and a unique style of interpretation. An article is devoted to the process of mastering these skills, which gradually describes work on the musical work of students-domrists of music universities.

Authors: Wafula Judith K. , Mosioma Jeremiah O. , Onyari Charles A. N. , Nthakanio Paul N. , Njoka Fredrick M.
Published: December 2021

Chickpea is a major source of proteins especially in arid and semi-arid areas of Kenya. However, its average yield per hectare is low when compared to neighbouring countries. This research was carried out to determine the levels of hybrid vigour on yield in the F1 generation. To obtain the F1s, reciprocal crossing between Mwanza 2 and Chaina I was carried out with controls being the parental lines. The experimental layout was a randomized block design replicated thrice for three seasons. A spacing of 50x20cm was used in plants, while all other agronomic practices were maintained constant. Data on grain yield and biomass per plant was obtained by measuring the weight, then subjecting it to a one-way ANOVA in SAS 9.4 software. Mwanza 2 expressed the highest biomass (2.56g), while both parents attained a maximum grain yield of 1.69g per plant. Chaina I x Mwanza 2 hybrid expressed maximum means of F1s for biomass (2.31g) and grain yield (1.4g) per plant. Chaina I x Mwanza 2 hybrid recorded the highest biomass and grain yield in better parent heterosis with 14.36% and 330% respectively. Mid-parent heterosis means were also highest at 24.53% and 405.88% for biomass and grain yield respectively. Further, the heritability was maximum for biomass under Mwanza 2 x Chaina I, varying from 93.1% to 100%, while Chaina I x Mwanza 2, expressed maximum grain yield and harvest index. Better parent heterosis and mid-parent heterosis was highest in Chaina I x Mwanza 2 than its reciprocal, Mwanza 2 x Chaina I.

Alexander Rodchenko about Paris. From «Letters home».
Authors: Kloos Emily
Published: December 2021

The article is devoted to the analysis of the letters of A.M. Rodchenko, which were written by him in Paris during the preparation of the pavilion of the Soviet Union for the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts in 1925. The «new Soviet man's» perception of the culture of the Western world is being studied. Letters help to comprehend not only the European, but also the Soviet world of the period of the 1920s.
December 5, 2021 will be the anniversary of the birth of Alexander Mikhailovich Rodchenko: 130 years! The round date, as well as the growing interest in everyday history, is due to the relevance of this article. The novelty is the interpretation of this source in the context of Alexander Rodchenko's views on Paris.
Researchers turn to letters exclusively to study the Paris exhibition, bypassing Rodchenko's most interesting assessments and opinions regarding the alien and incomprehensible Western world.
Rodchenko visited France for the first time and was extremely dissatisfied with it. He was uncomfortable, lonely, trying to distract himself from the alien world, he almost daily wrote letters to his wife Varvara Stepanova in Russia. The time frame of the Paris letters written by him dates from March 19 to June 14. Rodchenko stayed in France for about three months, having written 52 letters during this time. In 1927, they were partially published in the journal «Novy LEF». Their full publication took place only in 2014. I would like to note that the originals of the documents, apparently, are kept in the family's personal archive. For publication , they were provided by A. Lavrentiev, grandson of Rodchenko and Stepanova.

Authors: Amor Yacine Ayachi , Didier Gaëtan , Hamoudi Farid
Published: December 2021

Multi-terminal DC network (MTDC) offers great potential for long distance huge power delivery with multi-direction power transmission capability. However, the key obstacle in a realization of MTDC is the lack of existing commercial protection device can withstand the DC fault that rises rapidly and surge tenfold within several milliseconds over the whole system. The new technology called Superconducting Fault Current Limiter (SFCL) could bring a solution to the main bottleneck of the MTDC networks. In this work, an electro-thermal model of resistive type SFCL in series with a hybrid DC circuit breaker is proposed to protect a five terminal MTDC network. The numerical analysis carried out using (EMTP-RV®) software, and the simulation results show how effectively the SFCL can reduce the fault current and increase the breaking capability. Moreover, system stability is remarkably improved.

Published: December 2021

Solar energy is the most important green energy source that may be used to address the problems caused by conventional energy sources. The research in this paper aims to evaluate the solar energy potential of M'Sila, an Algerian internal region, and to determine which technology, among those currently available on the market, is adequate for harnessing that potential for electricity production (PV and CSP). This assessment was based on data (daily temperature and daily solar irradiation) collected at M'Sila weather station for one year and from the NASA site for 34 years from 1984 to 2017. These data were treated with excel 2016 software to determine the total horizontal, diffuse and direct normal solar irradiation. During the study period, the total solar irradiation falling on a horizontal surface in M'Sila (GHI) was estimated to be 1.79 MWh/m2/year. The diffuse solar irradiation incident on a horizontal surface (DHI) and direct normal irradiation, respectively, were estimated to be 594.88 kWh/m2/year, 2117.93 kWh/m2/year. M'Sila is a favourable land for the installation of concentrating solar power plants and photovoltaic panels due to its significant potential energy. The parabolic trough system is recommended. While polycrystalline PV modules should be promoted and installed in M'Sila.

Published: December 2021

This study examines the macroeconomic variables affecting trade union rate membership in OECD nations from 2001 to 2020. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has 38 of the most industrialized countries globally, which counts more than 80% of the global GDP; analyzing the macroeconomic movements of these countries means that we most likely know the variance of the global macroeconomic changes. We target the effect of employability, expenditure on education, unemployment, inflation, FDI, economic growth, wages, and salaries on trade union participation of employers. To conduct this research, we used data from World Bank, ILO, and OECD for 38 countries during the period 2001-2020, conducting a panel data Fixed Effect non-linear regression model with robust effect considering the non-normality and the possibility of heteroscedasticity of some of the variables. The results show that employers in the industry, the productivity in the service sector, and wages will increase the enrolment in a trade union, but on the other side, an increase of FDI and unemployment rates will decrease the association of employers to be in a trade union.
Regulamentação brasileira sobre gestação de substituição
Authors: Kern Graziuso Bruna , Carlos Paula Pinhal De
Published: December 2021

A gestação de substituição faz parte do rol de técnicas de reprodução assistida, que auxiliam na reprodução humana de pessoas com dificuldades reprodutivas. Na gestação de substituição, uma mulher – chamada de doadora temporária de útero – gestará o bebê de terceiros, chamados mães/pais intencionais, termo que engloba casais heterossexuais, homossexuais e pessoas solteiras em projeto parental solo. O Brasil insere-se em um modelo de regulamentação da gestação de substituição, e não de proibição ou abstenção de regulamentação, mas com uma particularidade: não há lei específica. A regulamentação jurídica é feita por meio de resoluções do Conselho Federal de Medicina, que não possuem força da lei, sendo caracterizadas pelo próprio órgão como “normas éticas”. A primeira resolução data de 1992 e a regulamentação atualmente em vigor é a Resolução nº 2.168, de 2017.  Alguns projetos de lei já foram propostos, datando o primeiro de 1997, e geralmente reproduzindo explicitamente o previsto nas resoluções do Conselho Federal de Medicina, não tendo ocorrido, até o momento, a aprovação de nenhum deles. Sendo assim, permanece a regulamentação médica como sendo a única a regular a gestação de substituição no Brasil.

Evolving Access to Educational Materials
Authors: Paskevicius Michael
Published: December 2021

The purpose of this paper is to interrogate the ways in which the selection of educational materials results in implications that impact access to these materials. This is necessary considering the evolving nature of educational materials offered by traditional publishers, and the increase in the availability of online learning materials, among those, open educational resources. I begin by reviewing the existing literature on emerging problems and barriers to learners’ access to educational materials including textbooks, online learning resources, and open educational resources. The findings from the literature review confirm that learners are now engaging with an increasingly complex ecosystem of educational materials, both print and digital, in a multitude of differing forms and formats, with various terms of use and durations of sustained access. Educators have a variety of choices to make when considering the educational materials to be used in their courses, and while fitness for purpose still dominates as the most important selection criterion, ease and persistence of access are becoming important considerations. A model which encapsulates the findings considering the variety of educational materials is presented alongside a discussion about the specific considerations for each.
Graphic Narratives of Open Scholarship
Authors: Forsythe Giulia
Published: December 2021

Public engagement and collaboration through networked practices—known as networked participatory scholarship (NPS)—may influence academic culture to “support, amplify, and transform scholarship” (Veletsianos & Kimmons, 2012, p. 768). This study examined the open online scholarly community #FemEdTech as it engages in NPS to create, collect, and curate value statements to generate iterative codes of conduct. Contents of tweets that include the Twitter hashtags #FemEdTech and #FemEdTechValues were thematized. The findings are represented as a visual metaphor of a map charting the fluid nature between policy design and implementation, described as the #FemEdTech Cartography. This collaborative policy creation can serve as a model to shift academic culture towards more socially just practices using open scholarship to address the pressing issues of our time.
Role of inositol and its isomers in glucose metabolism
Authors: Nochvinа O.A. , Slyvka E.V.
Published: December 2021

Despite the chemical similarities between myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol and their synergistic effects on insulin sensitivity, they serve different functions. Insulin resistance is one of the etiological factors in the development of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, infertility, menstrual irregularities and ovulation disorders, pregnancy complications, in particular, gestational diabetes. Myo-inositol plays an important role in the insulin transfer and hormone synthesis in the ovaries, in oocyte maturation, fertilization, implantation and post-implantation development.Many studies confirm the positive effect of inositol isomers on metabolic, hormonal and reproductive disorders, both in the form of monotherapy and in combination with other drugs to enhance the therapeutic effect and bioavailability. Myo-inositol has a favorable safety profile. Studies have shown that in patients with PCOS myo-inositol improves ovarian function and fertility, reduces the manifestations of hyperandrogenism, insulin resistance and normalizes weight.Myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol have different mechanisms of action on insulin sensitivity and have different functions. The balance of the two isomers ensures the normal secretion of hormones and ovarian functioning, but it is currently unknown what the optimal ratio of these two isomers due to the small number of high quality studies and the difficulty of studying their isolated action.There are currently different combinations of myo- and D-chiro-inisotol, but they also have not been supported by enough high quality studies. When prescribing various isomers of inositol, it should be remembered that doses above 4000 mg are the most studied in patients with PCOS, but D-chiro-inositol concentration above 1200 mg/day has undesirable effects. Most studies indicate that D-chiro-inositol value is increased in PCOS, therefore oocytes are more sensitive to its overdose, and combination drugs require more study. Currently, there is no consensus in the literature on the advantage of combined supplements of myo- and D-chiro-inositol compared to monotherapy with myo-inositol. Today, myo-inositol monotherapy is more researched and safer.

Published: December 2021

Research objective: to determine the characteristics of nutritional status (NS) in women of reproductive age with typical clinical signs of lichen sclerosus of the vulva (LSV) using key NS parameters. Materials and methods. The study included 75 women with average age 31.3 ± 1.3 years. 50 women were diagnosed with LSV and NS disorders (main group), and 25 women were practically healthy (control group). Information about all patients was collected through direct interviews, clinical examination and study of medical records. The presence of anogenital pruritus, soreness or burning, dryness, dyspareunia, urinary disturbances, perianal and/or intestinal symptoms, inflammatory bowel disease, thyroid dysfunction and tenderness, and other comorbidities were recorded. NS evaluated using anthropometric, laboratory and clinical studies. Body mass index, index of nutritional risk (nutritional deficiency), vitamins, micro- and macroelements value, scatological parameters were determined in all patients, and the intestinal microflora was examined.Results. The results of the study showed a disorder of NS in most patients with LSV by all studied parameters in comparison with the control group. Thus, it was found that 60% of patients with LSV had abnormal body mass index as well as NS was observed in 72% of patients. In addition, patients with LSV also had a higher deficiency of vitamins D and B12, and some important micro- and macronutrients. The results of the coprological study showed the neutral fats in feces, unchanged muscle fibers, extracellular and intracellular starch, decreased levels of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli in 68–74% of patients and opportunistic bacteria and fungi in 30–46% of women in the main group.Conclusions. Thus, the results of this study indicate the association between the abnormal NS and LSV. However, further research is needed to assess the course of the underlying disease and to analyze the metabolic pathways that lead to disorders of lipid, carbohydrate and protein metabolism in target patients, to select of the correct nutrients and alternative treatments.

The purpose of this review was to analyze and summarize the available literature data on changes of oral tissues in menopausal/postmenopausal women. We searched for the relevant references in Pubmed database using appropriate key words. We had revealed about 3,500 references on these topics and analyzed the most relevant. Postmenopausal women have an increased risk of the decrease of bone mineral density due to estrogen deficiency. Estrogens induce osteoclast apoptosis and intensity of this protective mechanism decreases after the cessation of menstruation. Most cross-sectional radiographic studies have confirmed an association between age-related osteoporosis and decreased alveolar bone height. It has been established that postmenopausal women with generalized chronic periodontitis are characterized by severe destruction of the periodontium, which progresses in parallel to a decrease in bone mineral density. Sex hormones maintaining bone integrity and strength, involved in regulating the proliferation, differentiation, and growth of keratinocytes and fibroblasts of the gums. The effect of low estrogen levels on keratinization of the gum epithelium and decreased salivation can lead to menopausal gingivostomatitis. Estrogen deficiency also adversely affects the microenvironment of gingival sulcus, including the composition and circulation of crevicular fluid. Postmenopausal women have lower salivary pH and lower salivation, which is associated with deterioration of periodontal tissues. In addition, the postmenopausal period is characterized by the changes in the microbial composition of the oral cavity, IgG decreases in the crevicular fluid and prooxidant changes of saliva. Conclusions. The oral cavity status in menopausal and postmenopausal women undergoes significant changes: a decrease in bone mineral density, dryness of mucous membranes, microbiome changes, and activation of oxidative and immune processes. These changes necessitate regular examinations, timely treatment and application of all measures of preventive dentistry. There is also a need for randomized clinical trials and create standardized guidelines for the management of postmenopausal patients with periodontal disease.

Visual perception verbs and degrees of certainty in Turkish: The case of görünmek and gözükmek
Authors: ERK EMEKSİZ Zeynep
Published: December 2021

This study aims at describing the meaning extensions and functions of the object-oriented see type verbs ‘görünmek’ and ‘gözükmek’ in Turkish in terms of the evidential status and epistemic stance they encode. The observations of this research are based on corpora obtained from Turkish National Corpus.The results indicate that görün- and gözük- share some common features in terms of their functions in discourse. They are both used evidentially with indirect evidence. TNC corpus in general shows that görün- in Turkish presents a dichotomous structure from subjective to intersubjective forms. The subjective forms ‘görün-, gibi görün’ have the highest usage of the objective personal pronoun ‘bana’ and the possessive form ‘gözüme’ indicating the involvement of the speakers/writers to the situation presented. When speakers/writers present their utterances in intersubjective point of view, they prefer the parenthetical forms such as ‘görünen o ki’ without any objective personal pronouns involved. This suggests that speakers/writers do not take the responsibility of the truthiness of their utterances in intersubjective mode.

Aim: Red eye, a frequent cause of presentations to ophthalmology clinics, is an important indicator of ocular inflammation. Although the prognosis is generally good and self-limiting, it is possible to distinguish possible serious conditions and prevent important situations such as blindness, with detailed examination and correct treatment approach. The purpose of this study was to evaluate patients with red eye presenting to the eye diseases clinic in terms of clinical and sociodemographic characteristics.

Material-method: The records of patients presenting to the Şanlıurfa Harran University Hospital Ophthalmology Clinic with red eye were investigated retrospectively. Diseases causing red eye were classified according to the International Classification of Diseases (ICD 10) coding system. Demographic characteristics such as age and sex and clinical findings were examined. Data were evaluated using number and percentage tests.

Results: A total of 2625 patients, 1775 males (67.61%) and 850 females (32.38%), who presented with red eyes, were evaluated. The mean age of the patients was 36.46±18.24 years. The incidence of viral conjunctivitis, the most frequently observed condition in patients presenting due to red eye, was 15.08% (n=396). The most common cause of red eye resulting in decreased vision and increased intraocular pressure (IOP) was acute angle closure glaucoma (AACG). The most common symptom was stinging-burning (70.36%), and the most frequent finding was follicular hyperplasia (74.17%). Five hundred and seventy-one (21.75%) patients who applied to the clinic with red eye had previously applied to a family physician and 289 patients (11.0%) to an emergency physician.

Conclusion: Although prognosis is usually good in red eye, and the condition is self-limiting, the detection of serious conditions through a detailed history, examination, and therapeutic approach can be enhanced with early and appropriate intervention. In addition to family physicians and emergency physicians, the first to examine patients with red eye, important morbidities such as blindness can also be prevented by increasing the awareness of ophthalmologists and cooperation between these.

A economia do açaí em Belém-PA: vida urbana e biodiversidade em uma experiência singular de desenvolvimento econômico.
Authors: Silva Harley
Published: December 2021

Este texto é uma discussão sobre o surgimento e desenvolvimento da economia do açaí em Belém do Pará. Discutimos a singularidade dessa economia, como realidade amazônica mediada pela vida urbana. Destacamos os vínculos históricos entre biodiversidade e o cotidiano urbano, dos quais o açaí é um caso exemplar. O texto argumenta que a endogeneidade da criação técnica, formação de mercados locais e a sofisticação do gosto popular sobre o produto, resultam da longa incoporação urbana de uma herança material e cultural ancestral. Essa é a base sobre a qual surge a economia de mercado do acai no final do séc. XX.
