Pedagogical Practicum and Student-Teachers Discursively Conceived in an ELT Undergraduate Program
Authors: Lucero Edgar , Cortés-Ibañez Andrea Margarita
Published: July 2021

The research study shows how pedagogical practicum is conceived, and how student-teachers are constructed as language teachers, within the discourses spoken in the initial meetings and institutional documents of pedagogical practicum in an English language teaching undergraduate program in Bogota, Colombia. The discourses were analyzed under the principles of ethnography of communication and linguistic ethnography. This study affords insights into a contributory conception of pedagogical practicum and into an institutional image and a teacher’s figure of student-teachers. Pedagogical practicum contains several academic, professional, and experiential aspects that configure this space with established (pre-) requisites, tasks, and roles for student-teachers; these aspects in turn start constructing these individuals with particular manners of must-be and must-do.
From rule-based explicit instruction to explicit knowledge
Authors: Kissling Elizabeth M.
Published: July 2021

This pilot study investigated university-level intermediate Spanish learners’ (n=16) explicit knowledge about a contrast in grammatical aspect (preterite/imperfect) after they received rule-based explicit instruction. Prior studies have found that learners’ explicit knowledge about preterite and imperfect includes partially understood rules, which can have long-lasting effects on their performance, so it is important to investigate the disconnect between what is taught and what is learned. Learners completed a cloze test and then introspected about their performance. The data were analysed qualitatively and compared to verbalisations of L1 Spanish speakers (n=6). Four main themes emerged: learners failed to learn the concept of grammatical aspect, they demonstrated confusion about lexical aspect, they attributed the difference between preterite and imperfect to a binary system of lexical aspect feature complexes based on duration of the verb/predicate, and they relied on self-developed categorical rules about adverbial markers. Suggestions for modifications to the conventional pedagogical rules are offered.
Effects of oral corrective feedback on the development of complex morphosyntax
Authors: Pili-Moss Diana
Published: July 2021

This exploratory study examined the relationship between corrective feedback (CF) and linguistic target complexity. In a pre-test/post-test/delayed post-test design, 44 adult intermediate L2 Italian learners from different L1 backgrounds were assigned to a didactic recast, a prompt and a no-feedback group. They were compared on oral and written measures on the development of passato prossimo, an Italian compound past form characterised by a set of complex semantic and morphosyntactic rules and participles displaying different degrees of form-meaning transparency. Mixed-effects models elucidated the extent to which feedback frequency predicted accuracy, whilst controlling for the effect of individual difference covariates and random variation. Only the frequency of didactic recasts predicted development of full passato prossimo sentences, whereas both feedback types were significantly related to participle development, a single aspect of the construction. Furthermore, only prompt frequency was positively related to accuracy in participles displaying more transparent (less complex) form-meaning relationships.

Improving Spectrum Utilization in Elastic Optical Networks for Multicast Traffic Demands
Authors: Choudhury Panchali Datta
Published: July 2021

Abstract: Elastic optical networks (EONs) have a scalable and flexible mini-grid architecture compared to the conventional fixed-grid wavelength division multiplexing optical networks. In EONs, there is scope to optimize optical resources. In this paper, the primary target is to
increase spectrum utilization efficiency for traffic demands. The approach presented here is a grooming, routing and spectrum assignment technique for multicast traffic demands in elastic optical networks for static type of traffic demands. The simulation results show better spectrum utilization.
A Novel Approach for Emotion Detection from Text Data using Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning

Published: July 2021

Abstract - Emotion can be expressed in many ways that can be seen such as facial expression and gestures, speech and by written text. Emotion Detection in text documents is essentially a content– based classification problem involving concepts from the domains of Natural
Language Processing as well as Machine Learning. In this paper we are proposing a solution for emotion recognition based on textual data. The emotion expressed in a blog, review or any kind of textual content remains unused until the text is analyzed and the emotion is retrieved from the data.
It is impossible to analyze the huge amount of data manually and gain information from it.
Representations about sexuality of people diagnosed late with HIV infection
Authors: Ribeiro Luana Carla Santana , Freitas Maria Imaculada de Fátima , Paiva Mirian Santos
Published: July 2021

ABSTRACT Objective: to understand the representations about sexuality of people diagnosed late with HIV infection and its implications in the delayed search for diagnosis. Methods: this is a qualitative study, whose theoretical and methodological framework was Social Representation Theory. The research was carried out with 18 people diagnosed late with HIV infection through an open interview. For data analysis, Structural Narration Analysis was used, with support from MAXQDA 12®. Results: representations about sexuality contributed to delayed diagnosis, such as trust in a fixed partnership, sexual intercourse is natural, sexuality as a taboo, search for pleasure in sexual intercourse, regardless of risks, denial of risk for HIV infection. Final considerations: representations about sexuality participate in a web of stereotypes and riskier ways of living, which contribute to delayed diagnosis. Sexual health education remains necessary and essential throughout people’s lives.

Published: July 2021

ABSTRACT: The harvesting process is a current challenge for the commercial production of microalgae because the biomass is diluted in the culture medium. Several methods have been proposed to harvest microalgae cells, but there is not a consensus about the optimum method for such application. Herein, the methods based on sedimentation, flocculation, and centrifugation were evaluated on the recovery of Chlorella sorokiniana BR001 cultivated in a low-nitrogen medium. C. sorokiniana BR001 was cultivated using a low-nitrogen medium to trigger the accumulation of neutral lipids and neutral carbohydrates. The biomass of C. sorokiniana BR001 cultivated in a low-nitrogen medium showed a total lipid content of 1.9 times higher (23.8 ± 4.5%) when compared to the biomass produced in a high-nitrogen medium (12.3 ± 1.2%). In addition, the biomass of the BR001 strain cultivated in a low-nitrogen medium showed a high content of neutral carbohydrates (52.1 ± 1.5%). The natural sedimentation-based process was evaluated using a sedimentation column, and it was concluded that C. sorokiniana BR001 is a non-flocculent strain. Therefore, it was evaluated the effect of different concentrations of ferric sulfate (0.005 to 1 g L-1) or aluminum sulfate (0.025 to 0.83 g L-1) on the flocculation process of C. sorokiniana BR001, but high doses of flocculant agents were required for an efficient harvest of biomass. It was evaluated the centrifugation at low speed (300 to 3,000 g) as well, and it was possible to conclude that this process was the most adequate to harvest the non-flocculent strain C. sorokiniana BR001.

ABSTRACT: On-farm culturing is a technology booming in Brazil. It is based on the microbiological diagnosis of milk samples collected from clinical cases of bovine mastitis, on the farm where the animals are handled, quickly, simply, and at an affordable cost. With this resource, after 24 h of incubation, the isolated microorganisms are classified as gram positive or gram negative, helping to make decisions regarding the therapy of the animals. Considering the relevance of the Midwestern region of Santa Catarina State in the national dairy production scenario, the objectives of the study were: 1) to promote the technical training of the farmers in three dairy farms located in Treze Tílias-SC, 2) to assist in the implementation and evaluation of on-farm culturing as technological resource viewing the reduced use of antimicrobials in herds. In addition to the rapid acceptance by the farmers and their efficient training, with the use of the technology, there was a 45-50% reduction in the use of antimicrobials in dairy herds. This result demonstrated a significant effect on animal health, and determines an important cost reduction for farmers, as presented in detail in this manuscript.

ABSTRACT: Over the past few years, changes have been observed in the behavior of typical performance curves, after higher technology has been incorporated into the agricultural tractor engines, either to satisfy the ceiling of the new pollutant gas emission limits or to achieve better efficiency. The aim of this study was to assess the typical performance behavior of an agricultural tractor engine, possessing electronic injection management, turbocharger, aftercooler and EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) treatment system. An analysis was done of the information the manufacturers provided, in terms of nominal power, maximum power and maximum power with Booster, maximum torque and maximum torque with Booster. From the results, the percentage difference between the nominal power and maximum power were found to hover anywhere from 1.49 to 11.97%, for the same manufacturer, 0% in another manufacturer and 9% in a third manufacturer, for all the models. Similar results were noted for the data reported on the maximum torque and maximum torque with Booster, giving 0.62% as the minimum value, 7.44% as the average value and 12.65% as the maximum value for the entire series.

Abstract The objective of the present study was to analyse the bioactive compounds of the leaves of Conocarpus lancifolius (C. lancifolius). The GC-MS analysis of the hot methanolic extract of the leaves (HMEL) of C. lancifolius exhibited the bioactive compounds such as 1-(3-Methoxy-2-nitrobenzyl) iso quinoline, morphin-4-ol-6,7-dione, 1-bromo-N-methyl-, phytol, hexadecanoic acid, 2,3-dihydroxypropyl ester, 2,2':4',2”-terthiophene, ethyl iso-allocholate, caryophyllene oxide, campesterol, epiglobulol, cholestan-3-ol, 2-methylene-, (3á,5à)-, dasycarpidan-1-methanol, acetate (ester) and oleic acid, eicosyl ester. The FT-IR analysis of HMEL of C. lancifolius showed a unique peak at 3184, 2413, 1657 cm-1 representing coumaric acid, chlorogenic acid and ferulic acid. The HMEL of C. lancifolius was actively inhibiting the proliferation of breast cancer cells MCF-7 ATCC at the concentration of 72.66 ± 8.21 µg/ml as IC50 value. The HMEL of C. lancifolius also revealed a good spectrum of activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial cultures screened in this work. The activity observed has shown more or less similar effects against screened bacteria. However, the magnitude of potentiality was significantly lesser compared to standard ciprofloxacin disc at p< 0.001 level (99% confidence intervals). Furthermore, the study demonstrating the bioactive compounds can be isolated from the leaves of C. lancifolius.
Panem. Sobre seu viés de gênero entre os Zo’é*
Authors: Braga Leonardo Viana
Published: July 2021

Resumo Esse artigo se insere no debate sobre panema, noção que caracteriza uma conhecida situação de insucesso na caçada. Entre os Zo’é, povo indígena da Amazônia brasileira, panema faz parte de uma lógica das qualidades sensíveis, uma vez que o corpo do homem panema é descrito como fétido, justificando o afastamento das caças. No primeiro momento do texto, demonstra-se como os aspectos olfativos conectam à caçada a diferentes âmbitos, tais como a culinária e os resguardos. É destacada a importância da moderação como uma potência para o sucesso no abate. Em um segundo momento, analisa-se a proposição de que o insucesso na caçada permite a comparação de homens panema com mulheres. Em se tratando de não matar caça, argumenta-se que o corpo panema é uma exclusividade dos homens em detrimento das mulheres. Por sua vez, propõe-se que a perspectiva de gênero combinada à atenção a diferentes casos de homens panema permite relativizar uma possível negatividade da existência dos mesmos, argumentando-se que sua vida não se reduz a tal condição. Com isso, pretende-se contribuir com o entendimento da noção de relação em etnologia, e, mais especificamente, de panema como um conceito de ampla circulação na Amazônia e além.

ABSTRACT Teak (Tectona grandis) is a forest species cultivated in tropical regions worldwide, due to the traits of its wood and its great economic value on the market. In Brazil, original plantations are being replaced by selected clonal forests, which generate the need and interest to protect this genetic material based on the current legislation. The legal requirements for cultivar protection are that the genotype must result from genetic improvement and provide distinguishability, homogeneity, and stability (DHS). This work identifies morphological descriptors in teak cuttings to assist the clone protection process of the species. The study was conducted in a completely randomized design with the evaluation of 7 clones and 15 cuttings per clone, at 30, 60, 90, and 120 days old. The information was also organized based on the arrays of presence and absence of variations for each clone, for 21 morphological traits. Subsequently, genetic similarity measures were estimated using the Jaccard index and the UPGMA clustering method. The clones with the 12, 7, 9, and 11 morphological traits formed the morphological descriptors for the 30, 60, 90, and 120 days old cuttings, respectively. The traits of the leaf blade: length, width, length/width ratio, green intensity, and the brightness of the leaf, were common for all the evaluated ages, but their respective levels of expression were different.

Imaginarios en torno al aborto en un grupo de adolescentes embarazadas en situación marginal en México
Authors: Rangel-Flores Yesica , Jimenez-Arroyo Vanesa
Published: July 2021

Resumen El objetivo del estudio fue documentar los imaginarios sobre el aborto que tiene un grupo de adolescentes embarazadas en situación marginal en México, con el fin de identificar si la continuación y conclusión de sus embarazos deriva de una decisión o de la ausencia de opciones para interrumpir la gestación. Este es un estudio cualitativo-biográfico, realizado con entrevistas individuales a doce adolescentes embarazadas, las cuales fueron audiograbadas, transcritas y posteriormente analizadas desde la metodología de Krueger. El aborto figura en su imaginario más como un deseo que una estrategia. Aunque la mayor parte narra haber deseado perder al producto de la concepción, ninguna intentó realizar la interrupción de la gestación. La culpa, el miedo y la romantización de la maternidad fueron las principales razones por las que decidieron continuar el embarazo. Se concluye que los retos para acceder a la interrupción del embarazo en las adolescentes se complejizan en el marco de la existencia de una serie de estereotipos culturales construidos en torno a los cuerpos y la función social de las mujeres; lo que contribuye a que se resignen al ejercicio de maternazgos sin las capacidades físicas, psicológicas y sociales para hacerlo.
O papel da educação não formal (de adultos) na promoção do envelhecimento bem-sucedido
Authors: Antunes Maria da Conceição Pinto , Macedo Ana Catarina
Published: July 2021

Resumo No âmbito de uma concepção de educação permanente e comunitária, ou educação ao longo da vida, o nosso ensaio propõe-se evidenciar a importância da educação de adultos na promoção do envelhecimento bem-sucedido, com base em um projeto de investigação/intervenção concretizado numa Instituição Particular de Solidariedade Social, no norte de Portugal. O projeto integrou um grupo de vinte e cinco adultos em processo de aposentadoria e pré-aposentadoria com idades compreendidas entre os cinquenta e seis e setenta e cinco anos. Compreendeu-se que o paradigma de investigação/intervenção mais adequado a este projeto era o qualitativo, interpretativo hermenêutico e a investigação-ação participativa, enquanto promotora da participação e motivação de todos os agentes sociais, evidenciou-se como a metodologia mais adequada para o seu desenvolvimento. Considerando os interesses, necessidades e potencialidades dos participantes, a intervenção decorreu por meio da implementação de três oficinas: Informática; Pedagógica e Vida Saudável; e Temática, onde foram desenvolvidas atividades com base em metodologias ativas e participativas que permitiram estimular uma participação voluntária e efetiva, proporcionando momentos de aprendizagem, convívio e lazer, transformando o cotidiano dos participantes. O projeto destaca o processo de intervenção educativa com adultos idosos e evidencia resultados positivos ao nível das aprendizagens, do relacionamento interpessoal e aumento do bem-estar, apontando para a premência da implementação generalizada da educação na terceira idade com vista à promoção de um envelhecimento bem-sucedido.
Representaciones sociales y prácticas pedagógicas en educación ambiental
Authors: Calixto-Flores Raúl
Published: July 2021

Resumen Las representaciones sociales constituyen un conocimiento práctico con el cual se da significado al medio ambiente y sentido a distintas prácticas. Los conocimientos de las representaciones sociales de la educación ambiental constituyen la base para la comprensión de las prácticas de los educadores ambientales. La investigación realizada tiene el objetivo de describir las representaciones de educación ambiental y el sentido de las prácticas pedagógicas de una muestra de educadores ambientales. Es un estudio descriptivo, de carácter interpretativo, orientado por el enfoque procesual de las representaciones sociales. Entre los resultados obtenidos, se observa que los educadores ambientales les confieren a las prácticas pedagógicas en educación ambiental un sentido hacia la conformación de estilos de vida congruentes con actitudes y valores de cuidado y respeto al medio ambiente. En la investigación se observa la existencia de representaciones sociales sobre educación ambiental y algunas de las implicaciones que tienen en sus prácticas pedagógicas. Estos resultados confirman porque las representaciones sociales constituyen una teoría que cada vez más se utiliza para comprender los conocimientos de sentido común que poseen los diversos actores educativos, los cuales pueden tomar una postura en torno a la práctica pedagógica. De igual forma, contribuye a interpretar las relaciones entre las representaciones y prácticas pedagógicas en educación ambiental. Predominan representaciones sociales antropocéntricas, por lo que en los procesos de formación y/o actualización de los educadores, resultaría pertinente incorporar una formación inter-transdisciplinaria.
Implications of new AMS dates for the Khami Period in the Mapungubwe Landscape
Authors: Huffman Thomas N. , Woodborne Stephan
Published: July 2021

After the abandonment of Mapungubwe, the Limpopo Valley was reoccupied first by Sotho people, making Icon pottery, and then by Kalanga speakers making Khami pottery. The senior Kalanga chief, in this case Twamamba, was based at Machemma about 60 km to the south, while several petty chiefs administered various portions of the valley itself. Because of fluctuating rainfall, the occupations of both Sotho and Kalanga people occurred in pulses during higher rainfall periods. New AMS dates place one site in the Icon Period, eight sites in Pulse 1 (AD 1400–1480) and eight sites or components in Pulse 2 (AD 1520–1590). Kalanga people occupied the best agricultural land near the Limpopo floodplains and Sotho people lived on the plateau to the south. The two groups thus shared the landscape, but not the resources equally. The ceramic record documents this unequal interaction. This interaction, facilitated by male and female initiation schools on the ethnic boundary, helped to create Venda as a language and macro-cultural entity.Significance:

Interaction between Sotho (Icon) and Kalanga (Khami) over some 200 years led to the creation of Venda.
New radiocarbon dates relate to Tshivenda origins, the language spoken by Venda today.
Initiation schools in the Limpopo Valley provide a model for interaction in the rest of Venda.

Porous Kirkenes: Crumbling Mining Town or Dynamic Port Cityscape?
Authors: Höller Lukas
Published: July 2021

The great number of actors in port city regions, such as port authorities, municipalities, national governments, private companies, societal groups, and flora and fauna, need to develop shared visions. Collaborative approaches that focus on combined values can help achieve long-term resilience and enable a sustainable and just coexistence of port and city actors within the same territory. However, the sheer focus on economic profit generated by port activities overshadows and ignores equally essential cultural, societal, and environmental values and needs. The lack of pluralities in planning and decision-making processes creates challenges for the cohabitation of the many actors and their interests within port-city regions. On the one hand, contemporary spaces in port cities cannot be classified and defined by traditional dichotomies anymore. On the other hand, the perception of spatial and institutional boundaries between port and city leads to a positivistic-driven definition of a rigid and inflexible, line-like interface physically and mentally separating the port from the urban activities and stakeholders, neglecting the inseparable character of many parts of our society. By investigating and re-imagining the future port-development plans within the historic mining town of Kirkenes, located around 400 km above the Arctic Circle in Northern Norway, the aim of this article is to explore and combine the concepts of negative and positive porosity and liminality and arrive at a renewed perception of the port cityscape, which can function as dynamic thresholds inbetween the multiple dualities and realities of various port and city actors. The article bridges the theoretical/conceptual sphere of urban porosity and the practical approaches of liminal design. By using Design Fiction as a tool for creating new, innovative, and pluralistic port city narratives, the article contributes to contemporary research that aims for imaginary, value-based, and history-informed approaches to designing future-proof, resilient, just, and sustainable port cities.
ECOLOGICAL AND GEOCHEMICAL ESTIMATION OF THE SPREADING OF TECHNOGENIC ELEMENTS IN THE TERRITORY OF KIVERTSIV NATIONAL NATURAL PARK "TSUMANSKA PUSHCHA"
Authors:   M.P. Semenenko Institute of Geochemistry, Mineralogy and Ore Formation of the NAS of Ukraine, Kyiv, Ukraine, Splodytel A.
Published: July 2021

Analysis of heavy metals content in the soils of the territory showed its heterogeneous distribution and dependence on available sources of technogenic impact. Geochemical accumulation coefficients were calculated and analyzed. The highest concentrations of manganese and chromium are in soils developed on forest deposits. The highest concentrations of nickel and copper are in soils developed on water-glacial deposits. Most of the studied heavy metals exceed the regional geochemical background. In terms of gross content in soils, trace elements form the following geochemical series: Zn> Cu> Pb> Ni> Mn> Cr. Accumulation of lead in forest deposits up to 2-3 MPC was defined. Most heavy metals in the soil are nonuniformity distributed. High values of the variation coefficient (V) – more than 34 % – are typical for inhomogeneous set of data on the concentrations of all investigated heavy metals. The highest index of variation was defined for lead concentration and equal to 170%, the lowest values were obtained for chromium content and equal to 34 % and zinc – 36 %. In the investigated soils there are two types of micronutrient distribution: elements accumulation in organic horizons with concentration decrease in the lower part of the profile and distribution by sedentary – illuvial type. The first type is characterized by increasing distribution of the following elements Zn, Pb; the second one is characterized Co, Ni, Cu, Mn. The ecological and geochemical assessment of technogenic elements distribution of the NNP Tsumanska Pushcha territory is made on the basis of the comparison of technogenic geochemical specialization of different environments (water, soils, etc.). For assessing the role of landscape components in the general geochemical anomaly of the territory, it is proposed to create total ecological and geochemical estimations. It represents the total values of pollutant concentration coefficients in individual components. Further researchers should focus on the analysis of macronutrients and genetic types of soils; determination of the reference content of elements in geochemical landscapes for defining intensity migration and characteristics of elements distribution; conducting biogeochemical zoning.
Child Participation in Russia: Theoretical and Practical Developments
Authors: Archakova T.O. , Garifulina E.S.
Published: July 2021

The article analyzes the development of practice and development of theoretical grounds for child participation in contemporary Russia. Children’s participation is considered as an interdisciplinary field of research, and as the practice of taking into account children’s views at different levels: in everyday life, in family and in local community, in organizations and in self-government bodies. Children are considered as reflective actors: co-authors of research and evaluation of social projects. The analysis uses publications describing the practice and results of researching children’s participation; key legal documents; materials from expert discussions, as well as data on relevant international experience. Data on the views of various stakeholders — specialists, parents, and children themselves — on the issues of child participation are compared and contrasted. The authors conclude that there is no unified system of child participation in Russia, and the most common approaches to its study vary in their methodological groundings. The current situation does not pose serious controversy and threats to the development of children’s participation; it may be favorable for the diversification and competition of approaches to development of child participation practices and their study. Recommendations are given on the themes of further applied research.

The physiological characteristics of sexual development in girls in the Republic of Dagestan mothers, in before pregnancy period experienced a high risk of a terrorist threat were analyzed. It was revealed that in the prepubescent period, in girls, the offspring of mothers emerging from the vital stress concentration of luteinizing and follicle-stimulating hormone in peripheral blood was significantly higher than girls in the control group. Also a characteristic of prepubescent girls whose mothers experienced a vital stress is an early decrease in the activity of the adrenal cortex in the transition from prepuberty to puberty. While menarche in girls 10–12 years old, whose mothers have experienced the vital stress occurred significantly more often than in controls. Anthropometric data, height and body weight, evidence of earlier maturation of girls of the main group up to 12 years. The formation of breast and pubic hair in the prepubertal period in girls of the main group of girls in the control group. So girl’s mother, who survived the vital stress under the influence of high risk of terrorist threat, was characterized by an earlier and at the same time disharmonious puberty. They are characterized by an earlier menarche and delayed the establishment of the rhythm of the menstrual cycle. some changes of rhythm humoral regulation. This is due to lead to distant damage of physiological homeostasis, influence on the implementation of the genotype of the fetus of maternal factors, as suffering a mental trauma associated with life-threatening even in before pregnancy period, causes a disruption of hormonal regulation in pregnancy.

Published: July 2021

Clinical pattern of the chronic decompression sickness is non-specific and there is objective difficulty to reveal the cause-and-effect relationship between the diver’s health condition and his professional activity in each case. This problem is not only obstructing necessary medical and social aid to the patient but also provides the light-minded relation to the preventive measures organization before diving long-term adverse health effects. A clinical case of professional pathology diagnosed in the diver. The patient served in 1993-2000 in Armed Forces of the Russian Federation as diver-welder, during this period no active complains were demonstrated, as he told, for saving diver’s qualification. In 2000 the patient retired for social and economic reasons and was accepted as a healthy person by a military medical expert commission. Until 2007 he was working by speciality not related to increased pressure terms. In 2007 after medical expert commission examination, the patient continued his work as a civilian personnel diver of the Russian Federation Ministry of Defense, during this time the clear relation between pain syndrome and diving episodes was detected. The patient was self-treated with analgesics and heat physical therapy with unstable effect. In 2014 because of increased lower back pain syndrome, he turned to medical aid. In2015 the diagnosis of chronic decompression sickness was established. Pathogenesis of chronic decompression sickness in not enough investigated, including methodical reasons. Prophylactic measures existing in routine medical diving practice are aimed only for acute non-specific and specific diver’s pathologies and this fact doesn’t favour special attention of the medicals for long-term post-diving effects. It provides to the low efficiency of measures for saving divers, aquanauts and caisson workers professional suitability despite known cases of their health disorders during work experience.

Authors: Tsygan V N , Gurskaya O E , Ilinsky N S
Published: July 2021

The possibility of neural tissue regeneration in encephalopathies of various genesis by influencing brain cell pool with reduced functional activity in the state of parabiosis is discussed. The use of a neuroprotective agent rekognan (citicoline) is a justified etiopathogenetic therapy realizing its effects through mechanisms of synthesis of membrane phospholipids, inhibition of synthesis of phospholipase A2, restoration of Na+/K+-adenosine triphosphate functioning, blocking of oxidative stress and apoptosis, modulation of choline, dopamine and glutamatergic neurotransmission. Electroencephalography study was made in order to investigate reactivity of a brain in 12 patients (6 men and 6 women, average age 57±11 years) with encephalopathies to treatment with the Rekognan. The relative index - K α/θ spectra of electroencephalogram power - was used to assess the dynamics of the functional state of a brain before and after the course of treatment with a neuroprotective agent. The majority of patients (9 patients) had a statistically significant positive electrophysiological dynamics with an average increase of K α/θ by 64%. Deprivation of the focus of irrigation in the form of a «running» of reduced acute waves in the right temporal region was recorded in one case, revealed during the test with hyperventilation. An additional prescription for the main therapy of the course of the recognan is associated with an increase in the power of electroencephalogram spectra in a frequency of the dominant alpha rhythm in 75% of patients with encephalopathies of different etiology. Favorable dynamics K α/θ spectra of electroencephalogram power testifies to the involvement of the cerebral reserve due to the neuroreparative effect of recognan.

The effect of military-training experience on personality characteristics and cognitive functions of cadets of the first course of the Naval Institute was studied. We had shown that military-training experience influences on psychological characteristics and cognitive functions of cadets. Cadets which graduated from Suvorov Military (Nakhimov Naval) High Schools in comparison with the cadets without of military-training experience had a higher level of military-professional motivation, sociometric status, physical training, extroversion, aggression, and depression. Cadets without military-training experience had a higher level of nonverbal intelligence. They had mean intelligence quotient of 114 points. Cadets with military-training experience had intelligence quotient of 110 points. This corresponds to good and normal level of nonverbal intelligence. Cadets without military-training experience also had a higher level of deductive numerical, visual and figurative thinking, properties of concentration and stability of attention. The analysis of discriminant functions at the aprioristic grouping of all sample on an indicator of the effect of military-training experience had allocated a range of important psychological determinants of military-occupational adaptation. These include: sociometric status, included figures of J. Vitkin, striving for achievements, indicators of the techniques «Mixed lines», «Establishing patterns», «Matrixes J. Raven», striving for achievements, physical fitness, aggressiveness, emotional stability, and social professional adaptation. The classification accuracy was 85,6%, which confirmed the validity of the choice of the indicator of the presence (absence) of pre-university military training experience as a grouping variable.

Purpose. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between prostanoid [thromboxane (TxA2) and prostacyclin (PGI2)] levels in synovial fluid and infrapatellar fat pad (IPFP)/ suprapatellar fat pad (SPFP) thickness as well as other clinical findings in knee steoarthritis (OA) patients.

Materials and Methods: 16 patients with knee OA with effusion were included. The average pain levels were evaluated using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). The pain, stiffness, and physical functions were evaluated using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC). The levels of 6-keto-PGF1α, stable metabolite of PGI2, and TxB2, stable metabolite of TxA2, were measured in synovial fluid using an enzyme immunoassay.

Results: 6-keto-PGF1α levels were significantly greater than TxB2 levels in synovial fluid of patients with OA. TxB2 levels and TxB2/6-keto- PGF1α ratio were negatively correlated with SPFP and cartilage thickness, respectively. IPFP thickness was positively correlated with SPFP thickness and effusion volume. WOMAC scores were positively correlated with VAS-activity and VAC-evening scores.

Conclusion: In comparison to 6-keto- PGF1α levels in synovial fluid, TxB2 levels seem to be more associated with ultrasonographic findings in patients with OA.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the levels of anxiety, health anxiety and somatosensory amplification in patients who presented with the clinical manifestation of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) without electromyography findings.

Materials and Methods: Patients who applied to the Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation outpatient clinic, respectively, and were diagnosed with CTS with clinical findings were included in the study. The patients who were determined to have no evidence of conduction loss in EMG were evaluated by using Short Health Anxiety Inventory (HAI-18), SomatoSensory Amplification Scale (SSAS), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ).

Results: A total of 111 participants were included in the study, of whom 56 were patients and 55 were healthy control subjects. There was no significant difference between the patient and control groups in terms of age, gender, and body mass index (BMI). A statistically significant relationship was observed between these scales and the VAS, BCTQ symptom-severity and BCTQ function status in the positive direction.

Conclusion: In our study, it was shown that the patient group showed higher anxiety, health anxiety and somatosensory amplification characteristics, and these features were associated with the severity of the CTS clinical scales. Studies with large-scale samples are needed to be carried out to confirm the results of this study.

Purpose: This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of LUTS in women and the influencing risk factors.

Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 377 women who presented to the internal medicine outpatient departments of a training and research hospital for examination. The data were collected with a questionnaire form and the “Bristol Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms-Short Form (BFLUTS-SF)”.

Results: The prevalence of at least one LUTS in women was 92.3%. A statistically significant relationship was found between the menopausal status, chronic cough, stress urinary incontinence (SUI) presence in the mother or sister, the presence of a large baby and SUI in a previous pregnancy, and the BFLUTS-SF total scores.

Conclusion: We found that storage-related symptoms were most common in these women, and LUTS affected the sexual life and quality of life negatively. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the sensitivity of health professionals to this issue, and to raise the awareness of women about the risk factors, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of LUTS with future training.

Introduction: Ethyl alcohol intoxication and abuse take place in the world and in Turkey as an important public health problem. In this study, the data of cases with ethyl alcohol as a result of toxicological examination in autopsies were compared. The aim of this study was to determine the characteristics of autopsy cases with ethyl alcohol and to compare the causes of death.
Method: The results of all autopsies performed by “Muğla Forensic Medicine Institution” between 2013-2018 were evaluated retrospectively. When the alcohol detection rates were analyzed by years, it was shown that 42.2% of the autopsies performed in 2013 were found to be alcohol, while autopsies performed in 2018 were found to be 17.2% (P = 0.000). Alcohol was found in 15.8% of the autopsies performed in women and 28.8% in men (P = 0.000). The cause of death in 25.9% of the cases with alcohol was defined as a self-existing disease (heart, lung, brain, liver, stomach, etc.), whereas this rate was 34.6% in cases without alcohol. The causes of death due to penetrating traumas (firearms, stab wounds) were 13.9% in alcohol-detected cases and 9.1% in alcohol-free cases.
Discussion and Conclusion: It has been suggested that the differences in alcohol detection rates in autopsy cases may be related to awareness studies aimed at raising social awareness. It was suggested that the difference between alcohol detection and causes of death in autopsy cases could be related to alcohol use and increased frequency of depression / suicide risk.

Developmental abnormalities of hymen occur as a result of failures in breaking or rupturing the genital tubercle within embryological phase. Cribriform hymen, septal hymen, anterior displaced hymen, imperforate hymen and rigid or elastic hymen are variations of the embryologic development of the hymen. Also microperforate hymen is defined as different type of imperforate hymen which has a small opening. In this article, we reported a different type of microperforate hymen limited reported in the literature.
A 17-year-old female case was applied forensic medicine polyclinic for sexual abuse examination at the request of the prosecutor. Any traumatic lesion was not seen in the extra-genital and genital examination. At first glance, hymen looked like an imperforate hymen. When it was carefully investigated, and consulted to gynecology and obstetrics specialist, three crescent-shaped holes seen on it. This was evaluated as a previously unspecified type in the literature of microperforate hymen.

The present study discusses how an analog classroom can attract the attention of digital youth. This is a qualitative and quantitative research of a descriptive character. The data collection instrument used in this research was a questionnaire containing open and closed questions, prepared by the research group. The study participants were 156 students from a University of the Rio Grande do Sul/Brazil. Student responses were analyzed descriptively and with approximations to discursive textual analysis. From the analysis we observed that undergraduate students are willing and interested to be active agents in their professional training process and for this they use their smartphones and notebooks in the classroom mainly for research that help them in this process. However, in unattractive classes with pedagogical strategies where only the teacher is the active agent, the student is susceptible to the use of resources such as tablets, notebooks and cell phones without interfaces with pedagogical practice. It was observed that the pedagogical strategies guided by active methodologies are shown to be potent to make the students active in the process of knowledge construction, properly using digital resources as auxiliaries of the learning process.
