In the conditions of the pig breeding complex, the effectiveness of two treatment regimens for antenatal hypotrophy of piglets was studied. Two groups of piglets were formed, where the ironcontaining drug «Ursoferran – 200» was used in complex therapy in the 1st experimental group, and «Ferropen-200»in the 2nd experimental group. In a clinical study, hypotrophic piglets showed characteristic symptoms of the disease. In the experiment, the live weight of piglets was measured at the time of farrowing and on the 3rd, 7th, 14th and 21st days of life. The hematological parameters were studied. The most pronounced therapeutic effect was observed in the 1st experimental group, where the body weight gain was higher by 8,3% than in the 2nd experimental group.

The paper presents the results of studying the immunostimulating properties of chitosan in the design of a vaccine against infectious rhinotracheitis in cattle. The optimal concentration of chitosan succinate as an adjuvant of the vaccine against infectious bovine rhinotracheitis was established at 0.5%. At the same time, the optimal interval between immunizations was 21 days. The work shows that the use of chitosan succinate as an adjuvant can significantly increase the level of post-vaccination immunity by 5.33 log2 in rabbits, which indicates the high adjuvant properties of chitosan.

To increase the embryonic and postembryonic viability of poultry, along with selection work, optimization of the microclimate parameters of poultry houses and rations, it is also advisable to develop resource-saving and environmentally friendly methods of using biologically active substances. It was shown that the treatment of eggs with a composition of solutions of natural metabolites (colamine, succinic acid and Ribav) in optimal concentrations stopped and prevented the negative effects of stress. Positive biochemical and morphological changes were observed in the development of chick embryos. An increase in chick withdrawal, a decrease in all incubation waste, an increase in the activity of antioxidant defense enzymes, and a decrease in the content of malondialdehyde in the blood serum of chickens were found.

Consumer interest and demand for new objects of fur farming products increases, among which a special place is occupied by various hybrids. When hybridization is carried out on an industrial scale, you can get amazingly beautiful, unique animals, such as fox-and-polar fox hybrids. At present white, blue and veil Arctic foxes are crossed with red, silver-black and other foxes. Depending on the selection of pairs and their inherited inborn qualities, offspring are obtained with skins of a wide range of colors, including original colors, which are several times more expensive than the original forms and are in high demand on the world fur market. The results of the study on commercial properties of fox-and-polar fox hybrid skins of the color types Sapphire Frost, Sapphire Gold Fox, Golden Island Shadow, Blue Frost Brown Type, sold at the Finnish fur auction Saga Furs are given in the article. The analysis of indicators of hair length of various categories, skin thickness, color and weight of fox-fox hybrid skins of various color types, depending on topographic areas: side, ridge and rump, is presented.

Published: July 2021

En el Perú -y en el mundo- se va ampliando el empeño por los derechos humanos. A los asuntos civiles y políticos se han ido sumando los económicos, sociales, culturales, religiosos, ecológicos... También hoy se marcan derechos de la mujer, de la juventud, de la niñez. Todos estos empeños tienen contenidos nuevos, si valoramos el modo andino de ser "humanos" y de correlacionarse con el medio ambiente y con lo sagrado. Estas preocupaciones tienen como marco e inmenso proceso de transformaciones que muchos llaman globalización y cambio de época.

Una de las preguntas más perturbadoras en este fin de siglo es "¿qué educación necesitamos hoy?", pero no sólo eso, sino "¿qué educación?", "¿para qué modelo de desarrollo?", porque la educación no está desligada del conjunto de la dimensión política, económica y social de nuestros países. Creo que una tarea verdaderamente impostergable es reflexionar desde la educación sobre ese desarrollo que empieza a tener características muy específicas en esta parte de América. El desarrollo de nuestros países en las últimas décadas ha sido accidentado.
El bachillerato en el Perú
Authors: Vegas Martín
Published: July 2021

En 1997, al inicio del año escolar, el presidente de la República anunció la creación de un nuevo nivel educativo, el bachillerato. La medida fue objeto de numerosos reparos por parte de la comunidad educativa, por razones que veremos más adelante, pero a su vez movilizó la imaginación de la opinión pública, que depositó diversas expectativas en la medida: permitiría acceder directamente a la universidad, otorgaría una certificación laboral. Sin embargo, los contornos específicos de la medida son prácticamente desconocidos. La encuesta nacional de opinión educativa tomada por Foro Educativo es reveladora.
Fe y alegría en la educación rural
Authors: Oleary Jaime
Published: July 2021

Como ya es conocido, Fe y Alegría es un movimiento de educación popular integral, formal y no formal, que tiene por finalidad fundar, organizar y administrar obras educativas, ubicando sus servicios en las zonas más deprimidas, abandonadas y de difícil acceso, es decir, en los asentamientos humanos de las grandes ciudades, y las zonas rurales de la costa, sierra y selva. Fe y Alegría, por medio de la educación, trata de promover la organización de los sectores populares, ingresar en el sector productivo integrándose a la sociedad y mejorando el nivel de vida de los alumnos, ex alumnos y sus familiares en una sociedad que no les brinda muchas posibilidades de acceso a la universidad ni les da oportunidades de trabajo.

Analizando las familias desde la perspectiva de género
Authors: Godos Del Rosario Myriam
Published: July 2021

Al ubicarnos desde la perspectiva de las familias para analizar las relaciones de género en su interior, no podemos dejar de mencionar que dichas relaciones se han basado tradicionalmente en la separación de los roles masculinos y femeninos y en la división sexual de roles o en los roles segregados, que asignan a la mujer el mundo de la casa y al varón el mundo externo, del trabajo y los asuntos públicos. Surge entonces el concepto de género, como el sexo socialmente construido, para dar cuenta o explicar dicha subordinación.

La experiencia y reflexión de género trata los detalles de cada día y las grandes disyuntivas humanas. La sentimos en el cuerpo y en los esquemas de poder. Ella toca lo cultural, lo político, lo espiritual, lo afectivo, la relación con el medio ambiente. La cuestión de género corresponde al varón y a la mujer (no es pues un "tema femenino"). Se trata de una perspectiva y acción transformadora de relaciones humanas y de formas históricas; son factores relevantes para la teología y la espiritualidad. Esto es lo que deseo indagar.
Mujer negra

Published: July 2021

El paradigma de la inculturación desde una reflexión teológico-pastoral en América Latina lleva al reconocimiento de la riqueza pluricultural y multiétnica, así como también de la realidad de la miseria social y de la discriminación racial y sexual. Una evangelización inculturada exige como dinámica el respeto y valoración de las raíces histórico-culturales de los pueblos y grupos sociales y el tratamiento de las consecuencias de esta misma realidad histórica y cultural. En este artículo se quiere realizar una primera aproximación a la realidad de la mujer negra en Brasil, abordando no sólo la relación de género sino también étnica.
El sentido de la protesta pública en la construcción de la identidad piquetera
Authors: Lenguita Paula
Published: July 2021

En los últimos cinco años, Argentina viene convirtiéndose en el escenario elegido por la historia para ensayar una nueva forma de protesta popular. El "corte de ruta" se consolidó como la expresión de los sectores más desprotegidos de nuestra sociedad. Abandonados a su suerte por las apuestas viciadas de ajuste de las posiciones neoliberales fijadas por el Estado, son los más vulnerables ante la condena de la renombrada "exclusión social" y el objetivo definitivo de las cadenas que los detienen en la falta de trabajo. Sin embargo, más allá de los obstáculos, han hallado un instrumento para su voz, una alternativa para subvertir su existencia amenazada.
Justicia, ética y violencia
Authors: Chamberlain Francisco
Published: July 2021

Se me ha pedido trabajar el tema de la ética y la violencia. Ambos términos son sumamente complejos. Empecemos por una reflexión sobre la justicia, porque la ética versa sobre lo que es justo en la vida humana. Si no me equivoco, fue el filósofo griego Aristóteles quien, hace 2,500 años, propuso la definición de justicia que sigue orientado la reflexión sobre este tema hasta hoy. Decía, en efecto, que la justicia remite al trato que damos y recibimos, es decir, que la justicia versa sobre lo que a cada uno se le debe, lo que cada uno se merece.

Con pocos avances en aspectos fundamentales de la política social, el Gobierno ha lanzado el proceso de descentralización. De esta manera, parece que la descentralización será la principal reforma de los sectores sociales durante el presente Gobierno. La descentralización se los sectores y programa sociales pueden ser un proceso de gran importancia para: a) apoyar que se haga efectiva la descentralización, desarrollando un mejor vínculo entre representantes y represntados que fortalezca la democracia y la gobernabilidad; b) mejorar la eficacia y eficencia de estos servicios básicos y programa de lucha contra la pobreza, haciéndolos más adaptados a las realidades locales y regionales, elevando la participación social en su diseño y gestión y haciendo que los dirigentes públicos y gerentes estén más interesados en la calidad de su gestión.

En este año 1974, se conmemora el Vº centenario del nacimiento, del P. Las Casas (1474-1566). El Patronato de dicha conmemoración tiene su sede en Chiapas (Méjico); de esa diócesis, Las Casas fué el primer Obispo; su actuación en ella durante la breve estadía de unos 14 meses se inserta dentro de una larga lucha para la justicia, antes de que Las Casas fuera nombrado obispo y después de que renunciara a ese cargo. Después de que España celebrará en 1966 el cuarto centenario de la muerte de Las Casas, a América Latina le toca la conmemoración del nacimiento. Pero cada pueblo conmemora según su "morada vivencial", como dice Américo Castro.

Síndrome de Burnout, satisfacción laboral e integración familiar en trabajadores de una tienda por departamento de Arequipa
Authors: Arias Gallegos Walter Lizandro , Ceballos Canaza Karla Denisse
Published: July 2021

El presente estudio, pretende analizar las relaciones entre tres variables: el síndrome de burnout, la satisfacción laboral y la integración familiar; dentro del marco de lo que se conoce como conflicto familia-trabajo. Para ello se ha tomado una muestra de 20 trabajadores de una tienda por departamentos, que está casada y tiene hijos. Los resultados señalan que los niveles de agotamiento, despersonalización y baja realización personal son severos en la mayoría de trabajadores. Su nivel de integración familiar es medio y existen diversas relaciones entre las variables. Un hallazgo relevante es que las dimensiones del síndrome de burnout explican la integración familiar en un sentido positivo y negativamente a la satisfacción laboral. Además, la integración familiar podría tener un efecto amortiguador en la satisfacción laboral cuando el trabajador tiene niveles altos de estrés.
Nonpsychotic mental disorders in patients with aseptic necrosis of the femoral head (literature review)
Authors: Ogorenko Viktoriia , Shornikov Andrii
Published: July 2021

Recently it has been reported of significant progress in the providing of surgical care to patients with aseptic necrosis of the femoral head. Given the unity of mental and somatic factors, as well as data on the interaction of mental factors and other chronic diseases of the hip joint, there is a significant link between non-psychotic mental disorders and aseptic necrosis of the femoral head. The aim of this review was to present current data on psychiatric disorders in patients of this category. Prolonged stress exposure, in particular due to pain, with activation of the sympathoadrenal system on the one hand and maintaining a high level of anxiety due to neurotic mechanisms of psychological protection on the other hand can lead to joint damage due to reduced sympathetic nerve fibers. Available data for incidence of anxiety and depression in Chinese patients show that almost every fifth patient has clinically significant symptoms. The stage of the disease (the need for surgical treatment) and comorbid diseases significantly increase the risk of anxiety and depression. Considerable attention is paid to the patient’s alcohol consumption problems and the relationship between alcohol abuse and the occurrence of aseptic necrosis. The presence of restrictions in movements influent not only to the physical, but also to the mental components of the quality of life. Physical and mental discomfort, pain, low quality of life are factors that reduce the willingness to participate in preventive measures, which ultimately leads to the need for more radical surgical intervention. Evaluation by a mental health professional before hip surgery allows for better results in the delayed recovery period.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, conditions for the deterioration of the mental health of a wide range of people at risk were created. The manifestation or exacerbation of mental illness contributes to the spread of COVID-19 and is associated with the frequent development of somatic complications and an unfavorable prognosis. Psychopharmacotherapy in patients with COVID-19 should take into account its effect on respiratory function, possible side effects and inter-drug interactions. The drug that can be recommended for the treatment of depressive and anxiety-depressive symptoms in COVID-19 is a representative of the modern class of antidepressants, multimodal modulators of the serotonin system — trazodone.
The use of antipsychotics in targeted therapy of schizophrenia — prospects and challenges (for example, amisulpride).
Authors: Khaustova Olena , Assonov Dmytro
Published: July 2021

Personalized medicine is an innovative approach that takes into account the biological, social and psychological characteristics of people in the development of preventive drugs and treatment of diseases. The goals of personalized medicine in psychiatry are to anticipate a person’s susceptibility to disease, achieve accurate diagnosis, and facilitate a favorable response to treatment. This article analyzes the information presented in the literature on use of antipsychotics in treatment of schizophrenia from the standpoint of personalized medicine with the aim to draw up recommendations for improving the effectiveness of psychotic symptoms therapy and set the vector for further scientific research in this direction. Despite the existence of many international and local guidelines and protocols for antipsychotic therapy, there is still the problem of early determination of which antipsychotic will be effective and safe for a particular patient — before the most effective drug is determined, patients are usually treated with various antipsychotics. In the treatment of schizophrenia, no antipsychotic drug or dosage is universal. Therefore, to maximize the useful effect and minimize the risk of side effects, numerous individual characteristics of each individual user must be considered. In particular, such characteristics as sex, age, clinical features (dominant symptoms, time of onset of symptoms and their intensity), comorbid mental and somatic disorders, presence/absence of bad habits, response to previous therapy (in case of such) should be taken into account. Given the possibility of flexible dosage of amisulpride and its significant effectiveness in reducing various groups of symptoms in various categories of patients, it has the potential for widespread use in personalized psychiatry.

Pathomorphological changes in internal organs in acute poisoning with 4-hydroxybutanoic acid (according to the data of the Bureau of forensic medical expertise)
Authors: Sinenchenko A. G. , Lodyagin A. N. , Gorbacheva T. V. , Sinenchenko G. I. , Batotsyrenov B. V.
Published: July 2021

The aim of the study was to establish objective reliable morphological signs of fatal poisoning with 4-hydroxybutanoic acid (4-HBA).

Material and methods. The 49 acts of forensic medical examination of corpses with «Acute poisoning with 4-hydroxybutanoic acid» as the main cause of death were analyzed. The work was done in the Saint Petersburg Bureau of Forensic Medical Expertise.

The results of morphological (macro - and microscopic) as well as forensic chemical studies of biological tissues were evaluated.

The results were statistically processed using Statistic for Windows software (version 10). The numerical characteristics of the variables (M ± SD, Me [Q25; Q75]), χ2 — Pearson's criterion, and Spearman's correlation coefficient were applied for statistical processing.

Results. The average lethal dose of 4-HBA in arterial blood was found to be equal to 273,6 ± 125,1 mg/l. In a forensic chemical study the combined use of 4-HBA and other narcotic substances (NS) and psychoactive substances (PAS) was diagnosed in 48.9% of cases. Of the causes leading to death, non-violent and «non-criminal» death due to 4-HBA poisoning was established more often - in 67.3% (33) of cases, a fall of the victim from a height with a fatal outcome - in 22.4% (11), less often violent death as a result of blunt and acute trauma - in 4.09% (2) cases.

Among the macroscopic signs of acute lethal poisoning with 4-HBA were an increased mass of internal organs (heart, lungs, spleen, liver) in direct connection with the concentration of the toxicant in the blood. Microscopic signs of acute lethal poisoning by a toxicant included blood circulation features characteristic of sudden death.

Concomitant pathology was diagnosed in 32.6% of cases in the form of degenerative changes in internal organs. In turn, hepatitis C and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) were detected in 26.5% (13) of the dead.

Conclusions. Thus, the signs characteristic for acute fatal poisoning with 4-HBA include the features of hemocirculation characteristic of sudden death. The brain is most severely affected, which is manifested by destructive edema. Poisoning is also characterized by the presence of serous pulmonary edema. Macroscopic signs of poisoning were revealed, including an increase in the weight of the heart, lungs, spleen and liver in direct connection with the concentration of the toxicant in the blood.

It should be noted that the concomitant pathology in the form of dystrophic changes in the internal organs indicates the long-term nature of the use of the toxicant leading to pronounced metabolic disorders.
Mesa Verde National Park: Acoustic monitoring report
Authors: Job Jacob
Published: July 2021

In 2015, the Natural Sounds and Night Skies Division (NSNSD) received a request to collect baseline acoustical data at Mesa Verde National Park (MEVE). Between July and August 2015, as well as February and March 2016, three acoustical monitoring systems were deployed throughout the park, however one site (MEVE002) stopped recording after a couple days during the summer due to wildlife interference. The goal of the study was to establish a baseline soundscape inventory of backcountry and frontcountry sites within the park. This inventory will be used to establish indicators and thresholds of soundscape quality that will support the park and NSNSD in developing a comprehensive approach to protecting the acoustic environment through soundscape management planning. Additionally, results of this study will help the park identify major sources of noise within the park, as well as provide a baseline understanding of the acoustical environment as a whole for use in potential future comparative studies. In this deployment, sound pressure level (SPL) was measured continuously every second by a calibrated sound level meter. Other equipment included an anemometer to collect wind speed and a digital audio recorder collecting continuous recordings to document sound sources. In this document, “sound pressure level” refers to broadband (12.5 Hz–20 kHz), A-weighted, 1-second time averaged sound level (LAeq, 1s), and hereafter referred to as “sound level.” Sound levels are measured on a logarithmic scale relative to the reference sound pressure for atmospheric sources, 20 μPa. The logarithmic scale is a useful way to express the wide range of sound pressures perceived by the human ear. Sound levels are reported in decibels (dB). A-weighting is applied to sound levels in order to account for the response of the human ear (Harris, 1998). To approximate human hearing sensitivity, A-weighting discounts sounds below 1 kHz and above 6 kHz. Trained technicians calculated time audible metrics after monitoring was complete. See Methods section for protocol details, equipment specifications, and metric calculations. Median existing (LA50) and natural ambient (LAnat) metrics are also reported for daytime (7:00–19:00) and nighttime (19:00–7:00). Prominent noise sources at the two backcountry sites (MEVE001 and MEVE002) included vehicles and aircraft, while building and vehicle predominated at the frontcountry site (MEVE003). Table 1 displays time audible values for each of these noise sources during the monitoring period, as well as ambient sound levels. In determining the current conditions of an acoustical environment, it is informative to examine how often sound levels exceed certain values. Table 2 reports the percent of time that measured levels at the three monitoring locations were above four key values.

It is important to know if different methods of measuring a phoria are interchangeable. This study was designed to compare phoria measures using in-phoropter (von Graefe) and in free space methods (Howell card). Methods: The study was conducted with 70 pre-presbyopic subjects, aged 23–35 years. Both near the von Graefe and near Howell card horizontal dissociated phorias along and with gradient +1.00 D and –1.00 D phorias were measured for each technique. Results: The mean values of the near dissociated phoria, for both test conditions (von Graefe and Howell card) showed a slight deviation in the two measures with von Graefe measures being generally more exophoric. The mean value of the phoropter phoria was 1.97 ∆ base-in and in free space, the value was 0.9 ∆ base-in. The phoropter phoria with the +1.00 D gradient was 5.24 ∆ base-in, and in free space, 2.73 ∆ base-in. Measurements of the phorometric phoria with a gradient of –1.00 D gave a mean of 0.42 ∆ base-out and 0.94 ∆ base-out in free space. The near phoria measures were significantly different for the basic near measure (p = 0.01) and for the +1.00 D gradient (p = 0.000002) but not for the –1.00 D measure (p = 0.36). Conclusion: The results of the differences in the near horizontal phoria in free space and in- phoropter were significantly different for the basic measure and for the +1.00 D gradient. The findings between the two methods of testing should therefore not be treated as equivalent or convertible. Each test method should have separate means and ranges established.
Saturation in the principal (excited) channel of four-level medium as an effective two-level configuration
Authors: Addasi Jihad S.
Published: July 2021

Saturation of complex molecules affects the nonlinear processes occurring in the medium. The medium can be described by two-, three-, and four-level configurations. The principal singlet-singlet and excited triplet-triplet channels of a four-level, N-type, configuration were used to study a nonlinear medium, which was excited by radiation with two frequencies. Under weak population of energy levels in the triplet-triplet channel (a small ratio of the total probability of spontaneous and irradiate transitions for both channels p23/p31), the principal (singlet-singlet) channel is similar to a two-level configuration. At the same time, the effective population of the energy levels in the triplet-triplet channel (the ratio p23/p31 is large and the radiation intensity in the principal channel is high) makes the excited (triplet-triplet) channel coincide with the two-level configuration. The saturation intensity of radiation in principal (excited) channel, as effective two-level configuration, and nonlinear processes in this channel can be controlled by external radiation acting on excited (principal) channel. Finally, the average excitation of molecules into the energy levels in the triplet-triplet channel (ratio p23/p31 ≈ 1) makes the four-level configuration similar to the three-level configuration with effective level as a result of combination between second singlet level S2 and first triplet level T1.
Bandwidth Improvement of RMPA using DGS

Published: July 2021

In this research paper we proposed a new DGS design to improve the bandwidth of RMPA designed for 2.2GHz operating frequency. In this paper, author proposed a RMPA with DGS to enhance its parameters and mainly bandwidth and directivity of the antenna. To achieve a very important bandwidth and directivity enhancement author proposed a table shaped unsymmetrical DGS in the ground plane. This unsymmetrical DGS on the other side of the patch increases the fringing field which consequently increased the parasitic capacitance. This coupling of patch and ground made the bandwidth and directivity enhanced from the RMPA without DGS.

This topic is an attempt to develop an open source vehicle simulator for use by anyone needing realistic vehicle data delivered as it would be in a real vehicle. As you probably know, most vehicles nowadays have an On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) connector which is wired up to the car’s internal computer. It is used in many garages where the mechanic can probe the car through the OBD connector and read out parameters onto a display. In an Internet of Things (IoT ) world where the car can be easily connected to the Internet (perhaps via Bluetooth to a smart phone), it could automatically search an online knowledge base and not only report a fault code but also let you know the most likely cause either based on the car’s personal history or on the environment (an expert system could conclude “it is minus 15 degrees Celsius outside, and there is a water leak, and it is likely to be a cracked hose due to the cold temperature – and there was a manufacturer recall notice concerning this hose”). There will be whole sectors of applications such as, safer driver operation of the vehicle, fewer distractions, more automation, safer mechanical performance, better & more timely maintenance warnings, lower cost operation and lower maintenance costs.

Detection of brain tumour is very important current scenario of the health care society. Image processing techniques are used to extract the abnormal tumour portion and other features in the brain. Brain tumor is an abnormal mass of lesson in which cells grow up and multiply uncontrollably, apparently unregulated by the mechanisms that control cells. Several techniques like Segmentation, morphological have been developed for detection of tumor in the brain. Texture is a critical feature of several image types and textural features have a lot of application in image processing, content-based image retrieval and so on. There are several ways of extracting these features and the most common way is by using a gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM). In our proposed work Texture characterisation has been made to obtain the Haralick features and SVM classifier is used in the Texture classification algorithm which used in detecting the brain tumor. This technique has been tested for 45 images, true positives are 33, True negative is 1, false positive is 1, and True negatives are 10. Sensitivity 97.0%, Specificity 90.9%, Precision or Positive Predictive Value (PPV) 97.0%,Negative Predictive Value (NPV)90.9%, Accuracy 95.0%.

Case Study of the Contact Failure of an Oil Temperature Sensor of an Automotive Transmission
Authors: Joo Yong-Ki , Kim Ho-Kyung
Published: July 2021

In this study, we investigated the cause of the contact failure phenomenon of an oil temperature sensor whose signal error occurred intermittently as the vehicle in which it was installed was driving. The electrical contact failed sensor was disassembled and the contact surfaces observed with a scanning electron microscope (SEM). In this present oil temperature sensor, the difference in the thermal expansion coefficient of the male-female terminal and vibration during driving which arose when the vehicle was driven caused fretting corrosion at the contact area. The fretting corrosion caused an intermittent signal error. It is judged that the lead wire of the flexible thin plate is structurally vulnerable to vibration during driving, which further causes fretting of the contact point. Therefore, it is necessary to design an additional structural supplement to fix the flexible terminal of the sensor system.
