Socio-economic factors affecting smallholder farmers’ willingness to adopt biodigester technology in South Africa
Authors: Bonokwane L.P. , Ololade O.O.
Published: March 2022

Being energy-autonomous has been suggested as a means of having sustainable energy in South Africa, where about 98% of electricity is derived from coal. Research has shown that biogas produced from animal wastes using a biodigester can be used as a source of renewable energy with the added benefits of a by-product called digestate, which can replace inorganic fertiliser. This study analyses the factors that influence smallholder farmers’ willingness to adopt a biodigester technology. It uses a structured questionnaire to acquire data from 80 respondents in Ngaka Modiri Molema District in North West Province, South Africa. The respondents were 30 livestock farmers and 29 farmers practising mixed farming. Five extension officers were also interviewed to establish their level of knowledge about the technology. Descriptive statistics and Fisher’s exact test were used to analyse the data. Factors such as gender, years of experience and family size were significant to willingness to adopt a biodigester. Farmers who were male and those with more years of experience were open to the idea, while those with larger families were less open to it, due to financial constraint. Overall, respondents practising mixed farming were more willing to adopt a biodigester than livestock farmers.
An empirical analysis of the co-benefits of integrating climate change adaptation and mitigation in the Namibian energy sector

Published: March 2022

The Namibian energy sector and other energy sectors across the globe are currently in a rapid transformation era that must respond to climate change, which directly affects energy infrastructure’s resilience to the effects of resource scarcities or extreme weather conditions. The energy sector must implement adaptation to guarantee the resilience of vital infrastructure to fulfil its regulatory commitments, which cover the elements of resilience and safety. Through investigating climate change adaptation and mitigation implementation in Namibia, this study validates the existence of these co-benefits where integration is fully observed. It employed a meta-analysis and content analysis to link the observed variables to the most recognised co-benefits. The findings suggest that integration is an efficient way to generate co-benefits that contribute positively to the climate change project. Effective leadership support is one way of realising such integration, either via public-private partnership or energy policy. Namibian energy policy, it is suggested, through voluntary tools and incentives, should create key public-private partnerships and promote management. These recommendations have application beyond the Namibian energy sector, and the lessons learned here could be implemented in scenarios outside of it.
Lexical profile of literary academic articles
Authors: Bratić Vesna , Vuković Stamatović Milica
Published: March 2022

In this paper, we examine the lexical profile of literary academic articles with a view to determining how they differ from research articles in other disciplines and how the vocabulary level and complexity affect reading comprehension, particularly for non-native speakers of English. For this purpose, a corpus of 110 literary articles from reputable journals was compiled and compared against two corpora featuring the same number of articles: one consisting of research articles from Science, Technology and Medicine (STM), and the other comprising research articles from social sciences and other humanities. The results reveal that the lexical profile of literary academic papers is, as expected, more similar to social sciences and other humanities than to the STM field when it comes to the coverage of general-purpose vocabulary, vocabulary level and vocabulary diversity. Despite the lexical similarities to social sciences and other humanities, the vocabulary of literary academic papers is somewhat more complex and diverse than that found in them. The largest differences were noted with respect to the level of academic vocabulary, whose use is much sparser in literary studies than in all other fields. The pedagogical implications include advocating for refraining from reading literary academic articles earlier than postgraduate studies for non-native-speakers of English (with some exceptions), as their vocabulary level will generally be insufficient for those purposes. We also point to the limited value of teaching academic vocabulary to students of literary studies.

Published: March 2022

Automatic operations of multi-functional and time-lapse live-cell imaging are necessary for the biomedical science community to study active, multi-faceted, and long-term biological phenomena. To achieve automatic control, most existing solutions often require the purchase of extra software programs and hardware that rely on the manufacturers’ own specifications. However, these software programs are usually non-user-programmable and unaffordable for many laboratories. To address this unmet need, we have developed a novel open-source software program, titled Automatic Multi-functional Integration Program (AMFIP), as a new Java-based and hardware-independent system that provides proven advantages over existing alternatives to the scientific community. Without extra hardware, AMFIP enables the functional synchronization of the μManager software platform, the Nikon NIS-Elements platform, and other 3rd party software to achieve automatic operations of most commercially available microscopy systems, including but not limited to those from Nikon. AMFIP provides a user-friendly and programmable graphical user interface (GUI), opening the door to expanding the customizability for myriad hardware and software systems according to user-specific experimental requirements and environments. To validate the intended purposes of developing AMFIP, we applied it to elucidate the question whether single cells, prior to their full spreading, can sense and respond to a soft solid substrate, and if so, how does the interaction depend on the cell spreading time and the stiffness of the substrate. Using a CRISPR/Cas9-engineered human epithelial Beas2B (B2B) cell line that expresses mNeonGreen2-tagged mechanosensitive Yes-associated protein (YAP), we show that single B2B cells develop distinct substrate-stiffness-dependent YAP expressions within 10 hours at most on the substrate, suggesting that cells are able to sense, distinguish, and respond to mechanical cues prior to the establishment of full cell spreading. In summary, AMFIP provides a reliable, open-source, and cost-free solution that has the validated long-term utility to satisfy the need of automatic imaging operations in the scientific community.

Authors: Protsenko A. I. , Aliyev M. D. , Tomsky M. I. , Kallistov V. E.
Published: March 2022

Results of surgical treatment of 105 patients with vertebral body tumors are presented. Depending on the tumor type, manifestation of spinal disorders and patients general condition different decompression and stabilizing operations were performed. Forty seven patients underwent decompressive laminectomy. The choice of that surgical intervention was stipulated by the severity of patients condition and impossibility to perform more radical operation. The outcome of that operation was determined to be of short duration and did not prevent the spinal complications. In 58 patients decompressive-stabilizing operations were performed. In 31 out of those patients the anterior approach was used. Results showed the advantages of the later operations not only in benign tumors, but in malignant ones or metastatic vertebral body lesions. Operations by anterior approach with spine stabilization using carbon implants are the most perspective for the treatment of patients with metastatic lesions.

Published: March 2022

In experimental study (11 dogs, 21 knee joints) comparative analysis of small-size cylindrical bonecartilagenous auto- and allografts was performed. The grafts were transferred into full-thickness femoral articular condyle defects in forms of inlay. Data obtained showed that articular surface of autografts preserved the main features of the hyaline cartilagenous tissue up to 1 year follow-up. In free and preserved allografts the similar remodelling process took place. By 4 months remodeling process was completed and articular surfaces were substituted by fibro-cartilagenous tissue. Application of auto- and allografts for the inlay plasty allowed to substitute the vast defects of knee articular cartilage in animals. Outlook of clinical application of inlay auto-alloplasty with arthroscopic technique was noted.

Authors: Trotsenko V. V. , Zhilyaev A. A. , Ivannikov S. V.
Published: March 2022

Integrate criterion for the evaluation of pathological gait based on the distinction of the pattern dynamograms of vertical components of weight bearing reaction at walking in norm and in injured lower extremities is suggested. In patients with different pathology of lower extremities the application of this criterion in clinical practice allows to perform the integral evaluation of gait using the minimum of informative biomechanical parameters. Suggested criterion could serve as an universal index for the evaluations of treatment and rehabilitaion results and may be used in research and clinical practice.
Biomechanical assessment of the support ability of the lower limbs in patients with fractures of the bones of the lower leg in the treatment of transosseous osteosynthesis
Authors: Negreeva M. B. , Solomin L. N.
Published: March 2022

In 17 patients with diaphyseal shin fractures treated by transosseous osteosynthesis the weight bearing ability was studied at standing and walking. Immediately after transosseous osteosynthesis in all patients the weight bearing was shown to be present both at standing and at walking with crutches. Then the weight bearing load on the operated limb at standing was increased to a greater degree compared to the duration of weight bearing on the operated limb at walking. By the end of fixation period the load of weight bearing on the operated limb at standing was almost normal, but the time of weight bearing on the operated limb remained 1.6 times below the norm. The stages of weight bearing ability were distinguished as following: I-st stage - adaptation (immediately after operation up to 1.5 months), ІІ-nd stage -stabilization (from 1.5 months to the end of fixation period). The period from 1.5 months 0.2 months after operation was conditionally defined as the beginning of weight bearing ability.

Experimental study of thermal-hydrogenous processing influence on the structure, mechanical and tribologic properties of titanium-alloy ѴТ6 was performed. After processing the firmness of alloy was increased up to 40-42 un. HRC in comparison with 28 un. HRC in hot rolling condition. Friction coefficient of VT6 alloy head on extra high molecular polyethylene was similar to the friction coefficient of Co-Cr-Mo alloy head. Wear of extra high molecular polyethylene in couple with titanium-alloy was 5 times lower than in couple with Co-Cr-Mo alloy. Surface hardening of VT6 alloy by thermal-hydrogenous processing 10 times decreases the wear of bone cement at friction. On the base of experimental study the new cemented hip endoprosthesis SFEN was elaborated.

Authors: Vetrile S. T. , Kuleshov A. A.
Published: March 2022

The experience in surgical treatment of 20 patients with severe progressive scoliosis is presented. Age of patients ranged from 8 to 28 years. One-step intervention on ventral and dorsal spine was performed. At first the anterior spine mobilization (multi-level diskectomy) was carried out and then dorsal correction of the deformity was made using instrumentation. In 17 cases the correction by Cotrel-Dubousset instrumentation was used, in the rest - combination of Harrington and Luque instrumentation was applied. In significant stenosis of spinal canal complicated by spinal compression syndrome the rsconstruction of spinal canal with spinal cord decompression was performed. Use of this method for the treatment of severe progressive scoliosis enabled to achieve significant correction of the deformity (over 40%) and preserve it for 2 years after operation.

Endoprosthetics of the hip joint with intraoperative elimination of external rotation of the lower extremities
Authors: Kolesnik A. I. , Bulaev A. M. , Orlov A. B.
Published: March 2022

In some cases of coxarthrosis (dysplastic, rheumatoid, coxarthrosis as a result of the prior head femur epiphysiolysis, Legg-Calve-Perthes disease and 4-5th stage ) the external rotation in combination with flexion-adducting contracture of hip joint is noted. Long-lasting pathologic process results in gradual increase of external hip rotation. Thus the anterior lever of the hip joint and the anterior segment of the capsule are elongated significantly. Simultaneously the shortening of the posterior lever of the joint and posterior segment of the capsule takes place. Uncorrected disturbance between two levers makes difficulties when the implant head is to be correctly placed in the acetabulum and also results in recurrent external rotation, redistribution of friction forces between the head and the cup of the implant and finally the rapid.

The role of the clinician in the diagnosis of tumors of the musculoskeletal system
Authors: Makhson N. E. , Makhson A. N.
Published: March 2022

Diagnosis of musculoskeletal tumors is quite often difficult and for the accurate diagnosis close collaboration of specialist in orthopaedic oncology, morphologist as well as roentgenologist is required. The more precise diagnosis of bone tumors can be made at specialized Centers (but not centers for general oncology) where roentgenologists and morphologists are trained for musculoskeletal tumors. Leading role in the collaboration of orthopaedic surgeon, roentgenologist and morphologist belongs to the clinician. These theses are confirmed by adduced clinical observations. The causes of diagnostic mistakes are analysed.
Results of Spectral Determination of Metals in Tissues Adjacent to the Sivash System Hip Endoprosthesis (Experimental Clinical Study)
Authors: Sherepo K. M. , Makarenko T. F.
Published: March 2022

After total hip replacement with Sivashs implants marked metallosis by chromium, cobalt and to a lesser degree by molybdenum develops in tissues contiguous with the joint. Titanium and tin are also determined in considerable amounts. At experimental (2 months to 5 years) and clinical (3 weeks to 15-19 years) follow up all metals are determined in the connective tissue. In bone tissue only small amounts of metals were present even in long term follow up. In short terms metallosis develops in the zones close to the mobility unit and gradually distributes along the bone marrow canal. As shown by experimental data metallosis is detected only as traces when the implant without friction units is used. In stable and unstable implants the degree of metallosis was the same although its incidence was higher when loosing developed. Our data confirm the possibility of the total hip prosthesis loosing but it develops gradually and manifest clinically in late terms.

Authors: Vetrila S. T. , Kuleshov A. A. , Shvets V. V.
Published: March 2022

Results of surgical treatment of 60 patients with scoliosis are presented. In 36 patients Harrington instrumentation in combination with Luque method was used for deformity correction, in 24 patients Cotrel-Dubousset instrumentation was applied. In 8 patients with extremely severe rigid scoliosis the deformity correction was preceded by thoracotomy with multilevel diskectomy for spine mobilization. In frontal plane no differences was observed in obtained correction independent on the type of instrumentation. In horizontal and sagittal planes correction obtained i was more marked if Cotrel-Dubousset instrumentation was applied. In Harrington instrumentation follow up period was 1 year, in Cotrel-dubousset instrumentation follow up ranged from 3 months to 1 year. Scoliotic deformity correction by Cotrel-Dubousset instrumentation is showed to be preferable. However taking into account its high cost the use Harrington instrumentation in combination with Luque method may be recommended as alternative method only.

Peculiarities of diagnosis and treatment of transverse lumbar processes neoarthroses in outpatients
Authors: Kolesnichenko V. A.
Published: March 2022

In 17 male patients, aged 18-26 years with L5 transverse processes neoarthroses clinical manifestations and X-ray data were studied. In 12 patients transverse-sacral neoarthroses were diagnosed, in 4 patients transverse-iliac neoarthroses and in 1 patient transverse-transverse neoarthroses were detected. Syndromic pattern of lumbar transverse processes neoarthroses including complaints, clinical manifestations and X-ray data was typical for spondyloartralgia. However unlike lumbar spondyarthralgia neoarthroses spondylartralgia was characterized by prevalence of monoarticular lesion symptoms with strictly local pain in neoathrosis zone at palpation, unilateral localization of painful sense and unilateral muscle tension; recurrence and increase of pain were provoked not as much by extension as by rotatory motions and inclination towards the aching side. Prevailing method of treatment of patients with transverse-sacral, transverseiliac as well as transverse-transverse neoarthroses is a conservative one with obligatory intra-articular corticosteroid blocades.

Analysis of clinical and X-ray data as well as treatment experience of 128 patients with infection followed by hip(110) and knee (18) arthroplasty was performed. Two types of complications that determined treatment management were distinguished: 1) infection in stable prosthesis; 2) infection in loosening of implants. In the first type revision of periprosthetic region with radical debridement, antibiotic therapy and drainage during 2-3 weeks was carried out. In the second type the hipimplant was removed and early rehabilitation was started to developneoarthrosis. In knee implant loosening compression arthrodesis was performed followed by implant removal. When proximal femur osteomyelitis was detected during revision due to stable implant the scheme of treatment as in case of implant loosening was preferred because of extremely high risk of instability and recurrence of infection.

Published: March 2022

Twenty four patients with malignant medullar spine tumors were reviewed. Sacrum was involved in 67% of cases. Combined methods including chemotherapy and radiation therapy as well as complex methods including distant gamma-therapy, surgical management and chemotherapy were used. After chemotherapy and radiation therapy 58.3% of patients survived for at least 1 year, 41.7% of patients - 3 years and 33.3% - 5 years. In the most of those patients radical operation was impossible to perform, so chemotherapy and radiation therapy to decrease compression of spinal cord and increase of life time should be considered as an adequate method.

The article identifies the problem of the study that is to solve the contradiction between the need for effective activities of educational organizations and the lack of preparedness of the managers for managerial activities. The article describes the study of the climate and motivation of teaching staff in preschool educational organizations and secondary schools and their impact on the socio-psychological climate in educational organizations. The results of the study of the socio-psychological climate of two pedagogical teams are presented, problem areas are identified and rational forms and methods of team management are determined, conclusions are formulated. The practical significance of the conducted research is to identify the features of the psychological climate of specific teams, making it possible to determine the prospects for further activities of managers of organizations aimed at harmonizing relations in the team and improving the effectiveness of professional activities.
Structure and Properties of the Hydrogel-Forming Tripeptide Glycyl-histidyl-glycine with Varying Sample Composition
Authors:   , Hesser Morgan Leigh , Schweitzer-Stenner Reinhard
Published: March 2022

Peptide gelators are currently a field of interest in biomedical, biomaterial, and biophysical research. They provide good candidates for drug delivery as they are biodegradable and are based on physiological molecules, which can be easily tested for safe use in medical applications. Many known peptide hydrogelators require longer lengths (increasing cost) or a non-aqueous co-solvent (potentially increasing toxicity). Many short self-assembling peptides include strongly aromatic components such as phenylalanine or a capping group. Glycyl-histidyl-glycine (GHG) is an exception to this expectation. It is able to form hydrogels comprised of fibrils on the sub-millimeter scale. We first focused on identification of gel phase properties by investigating a sample with 175 mM concentration at pH/D 6.4. Rheology data indicate the gel strength to be on the order of 104 Pa. Vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) and infrared (IR) spectra indicate that the fibrillar network observed via microscopy are comprised of twisted [beta]-sheet tapes. We then explored the impact of altering the concentration and pH/D on the gel properties. We found that the strength of the gel can be optimized by altering the peptide concentration or by increasing the pH/pD at a given concentration. Increasing the pD at a given concentration also increases the fraction of fibrils comprising the gel as measured by the combined fractional intensity of the IR bands assigned to the gel phase.
Problemas, modelos y métodos de la interpretación constitucional
Authors: Carrillo De La Rosa Yezid , Carrillo Velasquez Alfonso
Published: March 2022

This article addresses three problems: the legitimate subjects for in-terpretation (judges, legislators, citizens), the object to which the Con-stitution is interpreted, and the adequate or appropriate legal interpre-tation method for constitutional documents. Additionally, a proposal is made for the reordering of the paradigms of constitutional interpre-tation, which starts from the standard proposal that distinguishes be-tween cognitivist, skeptical and eclectic theories. However, it introduces a subdivision in cognitivist theories that basically follows the scheme of theories of truth, to classify them into cognitivist theories of corre-spondence, cognitivist theories of coherence, and cognitivist theories of rational consensus.
Reflexión docente sobre sus prácticas: Una mirada praxeológica a su saber pedagógico
Authors: Leal Leal Gisela Alexandra , Leal Leal Karen Lorena , Gamboa Suarez Audin Aloiso
Published: March 2022

This article shows the results of a research with a qualitative methodological orientation and hermeneutic design, which involved the participation of a focus group of six university teachers selected according to theoretical sampling. The purpose of the research was to characterise the pedagogical practices of the teachers of an academic programme in early childhood pedagogy in the traditional distance mode, based on the categories: institution, pedagogical knowledge and subject of knowledge, in order to derive pedagogical implications that contribute to its configuration. Among the results, six conditioning factors of the teachers’ pedagogical practice are presented: 1) The necessary synergy between teaching professionalisation and the humanist vocation to configure oneself as a teaching subject, 2) Teaching experience and the biographical itinerary as mechanisms of self-training, 3) Critical analysis of realities and the ability to transform their environment, 4) Research as a determining factor of good practices, 5) Praxeology as an opportunity to improve the teaching task, from processes of review, action, evaluation, and 6) The homogeneity of the curriculum as a limiting factor for good pedagogical practices. The results ensure pedagogical reflection and discussion of the teaching practice at the university, making it possible in the future to configure a different pedagogical practice based on new ways of assuming pedagogical knowle
MÚSICA E POLÍTICA: PARADOXOS DA HISTÓRIA SOCIAL DA MÚSICA
Authors: Voigt André Fabiano
Published: March 2022

O presente estudo pretende identificar – sobretudo em aspectos das obras de Theodor W. Adorno e de Françoise Escal – alguns dos principais elementos de base teórico-metodológica empregados por autores que utilizam os critérios da sociologia da música aplicados à história social da música para, então, apontar alguns dos problemas e paradoxos advindos de tais concepções para a interpretação da importância sociopolítica e histórica da música. Basearemos nossa crítica, na sua maior parte, em aspectos do pensamento do filósofo francês Jacques Rancière que tratam da relação entre arte, estética e política – principalmente do que tange ao uso de “regimes de identificação da arte” para caracterizar as racionalidades que estão ligadas a determinada concepção de música.
O RESPONSÁVEL FINAL PELA CENSURA NÃO TEM CARA PRÓPRIA: CHAMA-SE AUDIÊNCIA”: LESBIANIDADES, MIDIA E PRECONCEITO. UM ESTUDO SOBRE TORRE DE BABEL E BABILÔNIA
Authors: Leite Maiara Sanches
Published: March 2022

Partindo dos conceitos de gênero e discurso, o presente artigo propõe abordar como mulheres que firmam sua sexualidade sob uma lógica diferente da heterossexual são representadas em duas novelas da televisão brasileira uma da década de 1990, 'Torre de Babel' (1998), e outra da década de 2010, pela novela 'Babilônia' (2015). A partir do levantamento e análise de matérias e comentários de jornais buscou-se relacionar a crítica teórica com a produção de estereótipos de gênero e de sexualidade a respeito dessas personagens, assim como, a repercussão na mídia sobre os folhetins, e consequentemente, o apelo social que as personagens possuíam. Desse modo, observou-se que embora houvesse apoio por parte da mídia e da opinião popular, a baixa audiência, e os diversos problemas enfrentados pelas produções dificultou a visibilização da pauta das mulheres lésbicas na sociedade brasileira.
TEMPO E ARTISTA: A RESISTÊNCIA À DITADURA CIVIL-MILITAR BRASILEIRA NA VIDA E NA OBRA DO CINEASTA HELVÉCIO RATTON
Authors: Guimarães Júlia
Published: March 2022

Este estudo tem como objeto de análise a resistência à ditadura civil-militar brasileira (1964-1985) na vida e obra de Helvécio Ratton. Para tanto, parte-se da compreensão de que o conceito de resistência se relaciona ao conjunto de atos de recusa ao poder instituído, de modo que, nesse sentido, a atuação dos grupos guerrilheiros também se enquadraria no conceito de resistência. Partindo desse pressuposto, segue-se a tessitura da vida política do cineasta desde seu ingresso em sua primeira organização, a POLOP, até a sua participação efetiva em grupos guerrilheiros, como a VAR-PALMARES, e seu posterior exílio no Chile. A partir da apresentação das vivências de Ratton, foi possível perceber que a construção do filme Batismo de Sangue ocorreu sob um lócus enunciativo próprio de seu diretor e do momento histórico em que o filme foi feito – produzindo um discurso histórico singular e que colocou em foco a resistência dos dominicanos perante a ditadura civil-militar, bem como as violências sofridas por Frei Tito.
