Introduction: Educational interventions targeting health care professionals can contribute to improving knowledge and behaviors of antimicrobial agents prescribing. However, the unprecedented COVID-19 outbreak caused a disruption of the current practices and treatment guidelines. Therefore, it is highly likely that the pandemic had its disruptive effect on any educational interventions that were going on during the outbreak. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an educational intervention in improving antimicrobial agents prescribing
Methodology: This was a randomized controlled study that included 69 resident physicians in a teaching hospital. The intervention group received an educational intervention focusing on antimicrobial agents prescribing and resistance. Before and after the intervention, outpatient antimicrobial agents prescribing rates for the two study arms were compared for the pre- and post-intervention periods. Additionally, all participants were asked to complete an online questionnaire that measured their knowledge, attitudes and behavioral intention towards antimicrobial agents resistance and prescription. The post-intervention period included the months of February, March, and June 2020. April and May were excluded from the study period since clinics were closed due to the COVID -19 pandemic.
Results: Post-intervention, the rate of antimicrobial agents prescribing by the intervention group was significantly higher than that of the control group (p < 0.001). Mean fear score for the intervention group was significantly lower than that for the control group after the intervention.
Conclusions: Findings indicate failure of the educational intervention in improving antimicrobial agents prescribing. However, an unexpected counter effect of the COVID-19 outbreak is highly likely.
L’ancienne rhétorique et l’étude des textes
Authors: Noille Christine 
Published: December 2021

Notre propos ici sera d’éclairer le rapport institutionnel entre la rhétorique comme pratique sophistiquée et l’enseignement, en privilégiant trois focales sur le temps long : l’ancienne rhétorique à son apogée (xvie-xixe siècles), autrement dit, la pédagogie rhétorique avant l’avènement de la littérature ; la méthodologie rhétorique dans la pédagogie au xxe siècle, quand elle offre des procédures raffinées à l’enseignement de la littérature ; enfin, l’avènement en France au xxie siècle de ce nouvel exercice qu’est le grand oral du baccalauréat et qui signe l’invention d’un genus dicendi éminemment complexe.
Y a-t-il une rhétorique romantique ? Enseignement et pratique de l’éloquence (1800‑1830)
Authors: Sukiennicka Marta 
Published: December 2021

Après une profonde remise en cause de la rhétorique pendant les Lumières et la Révolution française, le début du xixe siècle signe une renaissance de cette discipline et sa réintégration dans le cursus scolaire. Les écrivains romantiques reçurent une excellente éducation rhétorique qui a laissé une trace profonde sur leurs œuvres littéraires. Les écrits de Charles Nodier, orateur révolutionnaire, professeur d’éloquence qui fut aussi l’un des pères du romantisme français, témoignent comment la rhétorique informait la littérature des années 1830. Dans son Dernier Banquet des Girondins, Nodier exploite savamment la topique du genre délibératif pour dépeindre un des moments climatériques de l’éloquence révolutionnaire qui, selon lui, donna naissance à la sensibilité et la littérature romantiques.
La force de la parole : éléments de réflexion sur la place de l’éloquence aujourd’hui
Authors: Brunn Alain 
Published: December 2021

L’expérimentation d’un enseignement de l’éloquence dans les classes de troisième, pendant les années scolaires 2019-2020 et 2020-2021, a rencontré un accueil très favorable et donné lieu à des projets nombreux qui semblent faire renaître une tradition ancienne. Si le contexte d’émergence de cette expérimentation — la vogue des concours d’éloquence portée par une dramaturgie exploitée par le cinéma — explique en partie ce succès, il n’en reste pas moins qu’il faut penser la signification de son retour, pour éviter que cette résurrection ne soit une restauration, et pour se donner la possibilité de penser les enjeux politiques actuels de l’éloquence.
Arithmetic derivatives through geometry of numbers
Authors: Pasten Hector 
Published: December 2021

AbstractWe define certain arithmetic derivatives on
$\mathbb {Z}$
that respect the Leibniz rule, are additive for a chosen equation
$a+b=c$
, and satisfy a suitable nondegeneracy condition. Using Geometry of Numbers, we unconditionally show their existence with controlled size. We prove that any power-saving improvement on our size bounds would give a version of the
$abc$
Conjecture. In fact, we show that the existence of sufficiently small arithmetic derivatives in our sense is equivalent to the
$abc$
Conjecture. Our results give an explicit manifestation of an analogy suggested by Vojta in the eighties, relating Geometry of Numbers in arithmetic to derivatives in function fields and Nevanlinna theory. In addition, our construction formalizes the widespread intuition that the
$abc$
Conjecture should be related to arithmetic derivatives of some sort.
The Images of the Other in Intercultural Interaction: on the Problem of Perception of another Culture in Multinational Tatarstan in the 1930-1970s
Authors: Khanipova Ilnara I. 
Published: December 2021

The article is devoted to the analysis of the Alien / Another / Different images in the cultural space of the Tatar ASSR in the 1930s - 1970s. Based on the archival documents, oral history materials and the example of the multinational region, the author considered intercultural communication and the problems of perception of another / different culture. Much attention is paid to the study of the socio-cultural space of Tatarstan villages.
The analyzed material made it possible to find out how the inhabitants of the village and the city perceived the image of the Alien who was once believed to be an Alien in the rural world. The study also revealed how the perception of the Alien had been transformed during the pre-war, military and post-war periods as well as whether there is a difference in the perception of the Alien on the part of locals and newcomers.
As a result of the research, the images of the Alien were created through the characteristics of alimentary qualities through clothing and appearance, as well as behavioral aspects.
The author came to conclusion that the image of the Alien was more often formed as general knowledge about the social, spiritual and material culture of representatives of various people living nearby. In intercultural communication, which often took a form of a dialogue, the formula was “ours – another”, not “ours - alien’s”. According to the author, the experience of long-term residence of the people, inhabiting the Tatar ASSR, had a positive impact on the dialogue and interpenetration of cultures.

Authors: MWATHI JOSEPH 
Published: December 2021

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of Board of management governance practices on students’ performance in Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education in Athi River Sub-county, Kenya.Methodology: The research used descriptive survey design. The study targeted 13 public secondary schools in Athi-River Sub-county. The target population was 208 Board of Management members, 13 Board of management chairpersons, 13 principals and 260 teachers in Athi-River Sub-county secondary schools. Stratified random sampling technique was used to select 13 schools to ensure that all the schools were well represented according to the various regions. Census technique was used to select all the 13 principals and 13 Board of management chairpersons. Simple random sampling was used to select 97 other Board of management members and 132 teachers. The sample size of this study was therefore 255 respondents. The main instrument for the study was questionnaires. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 20.0 was used to carry data analysis.Results: The findings revealed that provision of incentives to teachers, provision of rewards to students, involving teachers in target setting and provision of learning resources were found to be satisfactory variables in explaining students’ performance. This was supported by coefficient of determination also known as the R square of 48%. Regression of coefficients results showed that provision of enough learning resources and students performance was highly correlated, positively and significantly related (r=0.340, p=0.000). Provision of incentives and students’ performance was also positively and significantly related (r=0.291, p=0.000). Further, results indicated that provision of rewards and student’s performance were positively and significantly related (r=0.262, p=0.000). It was further established that target setting and students’ performance were positively and significantly related (r=0.228, p=0.000).Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study recommended that the training institutes like KEMI should organize tailor made courses for BOM members to equip them with the right knowledge on best governance practices in schools.
CONGESTION IN THE JUSTICE SYSTEM AND PRIVATE INVESTMENTS
Authors: Marang’a Moses , Ouma Duncan , Kosimbei George 
Published: December 2021

Purpose: Public goods and services play a vital role in a given economy. Most importantly, optimal supply of public goods and services is desirable. The justice system services are public services that, as argued by most economists and governments, would be expected to spur the growth of private investment. However, these services are prone to congestion which may influence their supply and level of use. This study investigated the effect of congestion in the justice system on private investments growth in Kenya.
Methodology: Drawing from the modified neoclassical theory of investment, a government service characterized by congestion was integrated as an input in the firm’s production function to derive a structural model for private investment growth. Utilizing data for the period 1960 to 2016, two-stage least square (2SLS) instrumental variable (IV) method was used for estimation.
Results: The study found that congestion in the justice system reduces growth of private investment. This implies that congestion increases firm’s adjustment costs, decrease their profitability and consequently reduces capital accumulation.
Recommendation: To enhance the growth of private investments, we recommend reduction of congestion in the justice system to the possible minimum. This can be achieved by upscaling resolution of disputes out of court to reduce inflow of new caseload. Consequently, the waiting period between hearings and mentions for existing cases would reduce translating to speedy conclusion of cases. The justice system institutions with involvement of litigants and their legal representatives should continuously undertake activities targeting rapid finalization of old cases, but not at the expense of inbound demand for justice. Consequently, congestion would diminish creating a legal and contracting environment characterized by minimal delay hence supporting accumulation of capital.

Published: December 2021

IntroductionTo explore the role of ferritin in placenta, serum and umbilical cord blood of pregnant women and the changes of oxidative stress injury as well as cell apoptosis in placenta in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia (PE).Material and methodsSixty pregnant women with severe PE were assigned into early-onset and late-onset PE group. Another 60 cases of normal late pregnant women with similar gestational weeks were divided into early-onset and late-onset control group. Maternal serum and fetal umbilical cord blood ferritin content was determined by automatic biochemical immunoassay system; mRNA expression levels of ferritin and ferritin heavy chain (FTH) were detected by reverse transcription real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Western Blot was used to detect the relative expression level of ferritin and apoptosis; the contents of total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) were detected by colorimetry.ResultsSerum uric acid (UA) and creatinine (Cr) levels of PE groups were significantly higher when compared to the controls. The serum ferritin levels in blood sample and umbilical cord blood sample were significantly higher relative to the controls. However, the mRNA and protein levels of ferritin levels in placenta samples were significantly lower compared with the controls. The placental cleaved caspase-3, Bcl-2 levels were significantly lower than the early onset PE group. The levels of GSH-Px and MDA in placenta were significantly higher.ConclusionsThese results may assist understanding the pathogenesis of PE and provide potential biomarkers for diagnosis of PE.
Notas sobre José Veríssimo Dias de Matos
Authors: Da Silveira Wellington Marques 
Published: December 2021

O desenvolvimento das ciências (séculos XVIII e XIX) funcionou como pano de fundo das viagens utlramarinas europeias que produziram, nas colônias, formas de colonização baseadas na imposição-circulação de saberes científicos pela cartografia de espécies de plantas e animais, bem como de inúmeras doenças contagiosas, presentes nos países do ocidente. Os registros dessas atividades encontram-se reunidos no rol de textos que compõem a literatura de viajantes, ou seja, a formação da literatura/língua brasileira. Com base nas pesquisas do projeto História das Ideias Linguísticas, em interlocução com a Análise de Discurso, propomo-nos à compreensão do processo de elaboração de textos teórico-literários brasileiros, tomando em análise a construção do poder-saber dizer sobre a língua/literatura de viajantes, na/pela obra História da Literatura Brasileira (1915), produzida pelo literato e jornalista José Veríssimo Dias de Matos. Compreendemos que, para pensar nas relações que o escritor encerra com as descrições reunidas na seção sobre a literatura de viajantes, é necessário observar, de antemão, que sua forma de escrever a história da literatura resultará de efeitos de sentido sobre a maneira como o literato legitima um conhecimento teórico-científico sobre a língua/literatura, em virtude de estar inscrito como um sujeito autorizado, pelo Estado e suas instituições, a representar o saber sobre a língua/a formação do texto literário.
Mediación editorial y valor agregado: La obra de Jaime Saenz desde las redes sociales del pasado
Authors: Pareja Roberto 
Published: December 2021

This article offers a critical study of the place that Jaime Saenz occupies within the broader context of translated literatures to shed light on the construction of his image as a writer both in Bolivia and in the countries in which he has been translated. How is Saenz's work viewed from a global perspective? I propose a methodology that analyzes and visualizes web media to study Saenz's position vis-à-vis his Bolivian and Latin American peers within the local and global mediation scene. I read Saenz's work through a web media map that visualizes him diachronically within a framework that considers his production and reception by publishers, editors, translators, literary agents, critics and sponsors, in national and international contexts. In this article I focus on showing the editorial mediation processes of Saenz's work comparatively and in relation not only to literature, but to the broader cultural field, which includes the social sciences and audiovisual arts. The image of a writer that results from this process (dark, accursed, esoteric, and associated with a mystical Andean spirituality) adds symbolic value and prestige to the author. A web media analysis helps to visualize how this added value was created over time and within its socio-political contexts.

Методы User Story все чаще используются в качестве основы артефактов проектирования требований при разработке программного обеспечения. На практике доказано, что метод User Story является более эффективным для описания основных целей системы. Но непрерывное управление работой программного обеспечения может быть особенно трудоемким и подверженным ошибкам, особенно при оценке качества или объема пользовательских историй и наблюдении за общей картиной системы. С другой стороны, эти модели были признаны эффективными инструментами коммуникации и анализа цели. В рамках данной работы рассмотрены и проанализированы методы выявления и представления требований к разработке программного обеспечения. В статье предлагается генеративный подход для создания диаграмм надежности на основе автоматизированного анализа пользовательских историй. Истории преобразуются в диаграммы, что позволяет разработчикам требований и пользователям проверять основные концепции и функциональные этапы, лежащие в основе историй, и обнаруживать искаженные или избыточные истории. Такие модели также открывают двери для автоматизированного систематического анализа.
The User Story methods (user stories) increasingly are used as the basis of requirements design artifacts in software development. In practice, it is proved that the User Story method is more effective for describing the main goals of the system. But continuous management of software operation can be particularly time-consuming and error-prone, especially when evaluating the quality or volume of user stories and observing the overall picture of the system. On the other hand, these models were recognized as effective tools for communication and goal analysis. Within the framework of this work, methods for identifying and presenting requirements for software development are considered and analyzed. In the article, we propose a generative approach for creating reliability diagrams based on automated analysis of user stories. Stories are converted into diagrams, which allow requirements developers and users to check the basic concepts and functional stages underlying the stories, and detect distorted or redundant stories. Such models also open the door for automated systematic analysis.
