Perfil de las funciones ejecutivas en una muestra de niños diagnosticados con Trastorno Negativista Desafiante
Authors: Arana Medina Claudia Marcela , Garcia Peña John Jairo 
Published: December 2021

El presente estudio tuvo por objetivo determinar el perfil del funcionamiento ejecutivo de nueve niños que presentan trastorno negativista desafiante (TND) a través de pruebas neuropsicológicas que evalúan estas funciones frontales. El alcance de la investigación fue descriptivo–observacional y su diseño no experimental. Para las evaluaciones neuropsicológicas se utilizaron instrumentos de carácter cuantitativo y las variables fueron consideradas a través de instrumentos estandarizados y sus puntuaciones son de tipo numérico. Como resultado, se evidencia un bajo desempeño en la mayoría de las pruebas que valoran las funciones dorsales en la muestra evaluada. Los resultados arrojados contribuyen a una mejor comprensión del diagnóstico del TND, además de aportar elementos para implementar estrategias efectivas en el orden de la intervención; especialmente debido a la prevalencia de este trastorno es de 6.43 % en la población colombiana.
Comparative study between chaos theory and the innovation process
Authors: Souza Crisomar Lobo de , Kuniyoshi Márcio Shoiti , Freitas Adriana Buarque de Gusmão Gomes de 
Published: December 2021

This article aims to make a correlation between chaos theory and the innovation process. Unlike what the name seems to be, chaos theory is linked to discovering simple patterns and laws that govern several complex phenomena. The complex is also innovation; therefore, this article makes an analogy of the innovation process from its conception to its implementation in the market with three principles of chaos theory: system, nonlinearity, and complexity. The innovative organization is characterized by constant innovation and complexity in nature. Uncertainty is an essential feature of innovation, which means an inability to predict the prospecting processor's outcome to set the best way to achieve a goal. Unpredictability is one of the characteristics of chaotic systems in which any minimal initial change in their conditions causes drastic changes in their course. Based on these premises, analogies were made to serve as a basis for further studies.
Quando o materialismo histórico encontra o direito
Authors: Teixeira Marcelo Tolomei 
Published: December 2021

O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar o Direito na sociedade capitalista e suas possibilidades de contribuir ou se opor para as necessárias mudanças sociais, justificando-se a importância do tema ante crises capitalistas e as devidas respostas esperadas dos explorados. A metodologia utilizada é o materialismo histórico. A estrutura dos tópicos apresenta o Direito, em primeiro plano, na sua função de dominação de classe, após seu papel ideológico e, por último, sua possibilidade de autonomia no sentido de arma de luta dos explorados. A pesquisa apresenta como conclusão que o Direito na sociedade capitalista tem papel de dominação de classe e papel ideológico fincado, principalmente, na categoria do sujeito de direito, dando-lhe um papel moral transcendente, quando sua função real está na venda da força de trabalho e em articular o conceito de universalidade do Estado.

Epävarmuudesta arvokkaaseen lopputulokseen - serendipisyys tiedonhankintakäyttäytymisessä
Authors: Wilén Raine , Holopainen Mika 
Published: December 2021

A serendipitious event in everyday life is common: it means unexpected information that yields some unintended information and potential value later on. Serendipity as a word has been around for hundreds of years. As a studied concept it is rather recent. Serendipity is not just the unexpected information or experience but rather the ability to recognize and do something with it. Serendipitious discovery of information is different from purposive or known item search as it is more complicated and lasts much longer. The discovery of information by chance or accident is still looking it’s explicit place in models and frameworks of information behaviour. It is still not clear what constitutes the core of the research area of serendipity in information behaviour.
The qualities of interaction among people, information, and objects differ in physical vs. digital environments. The bisociation, a creative association between different peaces of information may be computer supported.
This article presents an overview of the research study of serendipity in information seeking behaviour. We explore serendipity mainly in the digital information environment. As a setting for our study we use six main drivers of serendipity research relating to digital enviroments presented in McCay-Peet and Toms (2017). The drivers are: 1. Theoretical understanding of the phenomen of serendipity, 2) physical vs digital, 3) information overload, 4) filter bubbles, 5) user experience, and 6) user strategies.
A new refined temporal model of information encountering by Erdelez and Makri (2020) is also presented in this article. The model presents a framework for better understanding of the temporal dimension of the information acqusition. At a macro level the model positions information encountering within contextual factors related for user, information, task and environment related characteristics.
Organism's intoxication rate and elasticity of vessels in newborn rats – offsprings of the rats, which were exposed to the action of tobacco smoke
Authors: T. V. Gorbach  , V. Yu. Yunusov  , S. N. Martynova  
Published: December 2021

The influence of passive tobacco smoking various variants by rats-parents on indices of lipid peroxidation in blood serum and content of collagen and elastin in vessels was studied. It was established that passive tobacco smoking of rats-parents led to elevation of TBA-active products and middle weight molecules in blood serum of newborn rats. It indicated the toxic action of tobacco smoke components on the fetus. The significant decrease in elastin amount and increase of collagen/elastin ratio in aorta and femoral artery of newborn rats were observed. The most noticeable changes were found in cases when both parents were „tobacco smokers”.
The individual selection of ozone therapy dose in treatment of pyoinflammatory complications in pancreatic diabetes
Authors: S. U. Karatieieva  
Published: December 2021

The application of intravenous ozone therapy for the patients with purulent inflammatory processes with individual selection of ozone dose due to the severity of the disease using a lymphocytotoxical test causes the stop of the spreading of the suppurative necrotic nidus on the third day. The development of the granulation tissue in the wound and the edge epihtelization occur on the 6th – 8th day of the stay in the hospital of the patients according to the blood sugar level and the reduction of the hospital term of the patients in 3- 5 days in comparison with the control group.

Peculiarities of multiple sclerosis dynamics among Subcarpathia inhabitants depending on certain social risk factors of this disease
Authors: L. B. Orynchak  
Published: December 2021

The influence of such exogenic risk factors of MS on the disease dynamics among Subcarpathia inhabitants has been studied: education level, work conditions, marital status and concomitant diseases in the family. It has been found that the biggest percentage of the examined patients was married, and the number of the divorced was significantly lesser. Obviously, the marital status does not influence clinical characteristics of MS. The education level has an influence on the rate according to EDSS scale. The biggest part of the examined patients with MS had secondary vocational education, slightly lesser number had higher and incomplete secondary education, and the least number of patients at the time of examination were students. Thus, the lowest point was observed in the group of students with MS and the highest point among the people with incomplete secondary education. Relapse remitting disease dynamics type predominated among all the examined patients with MS.
Influence of persistent inflammation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease on the mucosal barrier of bronchi and intestines (reference review)
Authors: S. V. Kovalenko  
Published: December 2021

The article presents the current literature data concerning the mechanisms of influence of persistent inflammation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease on the state of the mucous barrier of bronchi and intestines. We consider a variety of factors that get activated during inflammation and adversely affect the progression of changes in mucosal barrier. It is shown that the progression of disorders in bronchial mucosal barrier occurs by developing peribronchial fibrosis and activation of connective tissue with the formation of irreversible airflow obstruction and remodeling of the bronchial tree. Integral interrelations of many stimuli, including growth factors and matrix-generating signals that are involved in inflammation, repair and fibrosis launch epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT), which may lead to loss of epithelial cells and contribute to the destruction of the parenchyma and fibrosis. Detection of EMT in biopsy samples may be diagnostically significant and represent a new biomarker of progression of chronic lung disease.
超人類主義的“人與天一”式審度
Authors: ZHANG Wanqiang 
Published: December 2021

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in Chinese; abstract also in English.
Professor Wang Jue reflects on transhumanism through the Confucian idea of harmony between man and nature and proposes from a Confucian perspective that we should supervise the formation of our posthuman future. I agree with this suggestion. Here, I discuss transhumanism using Zhuangzi's idea of “Harmony between Man and Nature” and the concept of immortality. My conclusion is that from Zhuangzi's point of view, it would be wrong to use technology solely to plan and control the future of mankind; however, this does not mean that Zhuangzi is an anti-technologist. I think Zhuangzi's ideas offer limited support for the Confucian suggestion that we should supervise the formation of our post-human future.

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in Chinese; abstract also in English.
Superhumanism or posthumanism has become our reality. To deal with the resulting humanitarian dilemma, we can consult the abundant theoretical resources provided by Confucianism. Confucius's “The Gentleman is No Vessel”, Zengzi's important concept of filial piety, and Mencius' understanding of human nature contribute valuable theoretical perspectives for reflection on the real-world consequences of transhumanism.
Antecedents of green purchase intention: a cross-cultural empirical evidence from Vietnam and Poland
Authors: Cong Doanh Duong , Gadomska-Lila Katarzyna , Thi Loan Le 
Published: December 2021

Research background: Even though antecedents of green consumption have already been considered in numerous scientific articles, their findings still remain inconsistent. Furthermore, far less attention has been paid to understanding the underlying mechanism of cultural values, including collectivism and long-term orientation, and perceived environmental knowledge influencing intention to purchase environmentally friendly products, as well as the meditating role of green purchase willingness in the linkages between antecedents and green purchase intention. In addition, some previous studies suggested that it might be meaningful and significant to explore these linkages in the cross-cultural context with different levels of economic development.
Purpose of the article: This study explored the effects of cultural dimension, perceived environmental and green purchase willingness with regard to intention to purchase environmentally friendly products of Vietnamese and Polish customers. Moreover, the mediating role of green purchase willingness was also investigated in this study.
Methods: To achieve the objectives of this research, customer surveys were conducted in two developing countries ? Vietnam and Poland. Two convenience samples of 611 Vietnamese consumers and 301 Polish consumers have been recruited from 03 May to 03 October 2020. The structural equation modelling (SEM) was utilized to examine the conceptual framework and test the proposed hypotheses.
Findings & value added: The research revealed that green purchase willingness became the most influential factor to predict green purchase intention in both cultures. Also, perceived environmental knowledge was found to have substantial effects on willingness and intention to purchase environmentally friendly products in both countries, even though the influential degree in Poland was much higher than that in Vietnam. Remarkably, cultural dimensions were found to significantly affect green consumption in the collectivist culture of Vietnam, while these relationships were not significant in Poland. This study was expected to significantly contribute to the existing literature by boosting our understanding of the importance of cultural values and perceived knowledge environment in promoting green consumption in the cross-cultural context.
Demand forecasting: an alternative approach based on technical indicator Pbands
Authors: Kolková Andrea , Ključnikov Aleksandr 
Published: December 2021

Research background: Demand forecasting helps companies to anticipate purchases and plan the delivery or production. In order to face this complex problem, many statistical methods, artificial intelligence-based methods, and hybrid methods are currently being developed. However, all these methods have similar problematic issues, including the complexity, long computing time, and the need for high computing performance of the IT infrastructure.
Purpose of the article: This study aims to verify and evaluate the possibility of using Google Trends data for poetry book demand forecasting and compare the results of the application of the statistical methods, neural networks, and a hybrid model versus the alternative possibility of using technical analysis methods to achieve immediate and accessible forecasting. Specifically, it aims to verify the possibility of immediate demand forecasting based on an alternative approach using Pbands technical indicator for poetry books in the European Quartet countries.
Methods: The study performs the demand forecasting based on the technical analysis of the Google Trends data search in case of the keyword poetry in the European Quartet countries by several statistical methods, including the commonly used ETS statistical methods, ARIMA method, ARFIMA method, BATS method based on the combination of the Cox-Box transformation model and ARMA, artificial neural networks, the Theta model, a hybrid model, and an alternative approach of forecasting using Pbands indicator. The study uses MAPE and RMSE approaches to measure the accuracy.
Findings & value added: Although most currently available demand prediction models are either slow or complex, the entrepreneurial practice requires fast, simple, and accurate ones. The study results show that the alternative Pbands approach is easily applicable and can predict short-term demand changes. Due to its simplicity, the Pbands method is suitable and convenient to monitor short-term data describing the demand. Demand prediction methods based on technical indicators represent a new approach for demand forecasting. The application of these technical indicators could be a further forecasting models research direction. The future of theoretical research in forecasting should be devoted mainly to simplifying and speeding up. Creating an automated model based on primary data parameters and easily interpretable results is a challenge for further research.
Ocular findings in cats with blastomycosis: 19 cases (1978–2019)
Authors: Morris Jacob M. , Sigmund Alex B. , Ward Daniel A. , Hendrix Diane V. H. 
Published: December 2021

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To document ocular findings in cats with blastomycosis.

ANIMALS
35 cats with blastomycosis.

PROCEDURES
Medical records from 1978 through 2019 were reviewed to identify cats with confirmed Blastomyces infection. Cats were grouped as having or not having ocular involvement. Clinical signs, histopathologic findings, and response to treatment were evaluated.

RESULTS
21 of the 35 (60%) cats with confirmed blastomycosis had ocular abnormalities. Two of 21 cats with ocular abnormalities also had systemic hypertension and were excluded. Of the remaining 19 cats, 15 (79%) had bilateral ocular signs. Ten (53%) cats had inflammatory ocular lesions, and 9 (47%) had neuro-ophthalmic abnormalities. Six of the 19 (32%) cats appeared to be completely blind, and 5 (26%) appeared to be unilaterally blind. For the 10 cats with inflammatory ocular lesions, the most common lesions were anterior uveitis (9/20 eyes), active chorioretinitis (6/20 eyes), and retinal detachment (4/20 eyes). For the 9 cats with neuro-ophthalmic abnormalities, the most common abnormalities were a negative menace or tracking response (10/18 eyes) and negative pupillary light response (4/18 eyes).

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Results suggested that ocular involvement is common in cats with blastomycosis and that both inflammatory lesions and neuro-ophthalmic abnormalities can be seen. Blastomycosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis for cats with anterior uveitis, posterior segment inflammation, or neuro-ophthalmic abnormalities, and a complete ophthalmic examination should be performed in all cats with confirmed or suspected blastomycosis.
Compensation incentive contract of the subject librarians based on the H-M model
Authors: Wang Chunping , Song Lili 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
Based on the H-M model, the compensation incentive model is constructed under the inter-task cost function. The best compensation incentive contract is constructed by solving the incentive model, and the incentive characteristics are analysed. The results show that the best incentive intensity decreases as the subject service selectivity increases. The higher incentive intensity of university managers for specific tasks, the lower efforts of subject librarians for another specific task. Moreover, when the tasks are substituted for each other, the profit-sharing ratios corresponding to different tasks are complementary. Finally, we establish the econometric empirical models to test these results.

Published: December 2021

Abstract

Aims
To enhance the teaching quality in the field of visual communication design and make students to improve in all aspects of moral, intellectual and physical development, strengthen their ideological education, improve their ideological quality and strengthen their understanding of visual communication design art.

Methods
By using mathematical methods to construct models, and making appropriate selection of the literature method, practical teaching method and investigation method, the author made a comprehensive study on the artistic problems in art teaching from the aspects of definition, function, characteristics and students’ ideological quality, and discusses potential solutions.

Results
It had a positive effect on teachers and on their teaching methods, so that they have a better understanding of their teaching work, to motivate themselves towards their goals, make the classroom teaching vivid and improve the teaching efficiency.

Conclusion
The art of teaching visual communication has a close relationship with the strength and quality of people's thoughts; so, we must strengthen the artistic quality of visual communication design education, to improve students’ ideological quality and the art of teaching visual communication design. In our model, the motivation of teachers to create and sustain interest in students studying visual communication design is stronger when the imagination of ideological content is broad, and when the artistry is positive for right triangle and thoughtful for backward right triangle. The construction of the model is like a regular triangle and an inverted triangle combined to form a regular rectangle mathematical model. It will make visual communication design teaching like Mona Lisa so that people linger.
Genetic diversity and relationship between wild and cultivated cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] as assessed by allozyme markers
Authors: Kouam Eric Bertrand , Muluvi Geoffrey Mwanza , Pasquet Rémy Stéphane 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
In Cameroon, cowpea plays an important role in traditional agroecosystems. Genetic variation in wild and cultivated cowpea in Cameroon has not yet been documented. Allozyme markers because of their codominance and polymorphism are useful tools for studying genetic variation and disparity in plant species. The present study was undertaken to elucidate the relationship between wild and cultivated cowpea from Cameroon. Ten enzyme systems encoding nineteen isozyme loci were used on 62 cowpea germplasm (45 wild and 17 cultivated). A total of thirty-two alleles were found. One allele was only found in cultivated samples (Enp98
). Eight alleles were specific only to wild plant (Amp2

, Amp4

, Fdh104
, Idh2

and Sdh95
). Twenty-three alleles were common to both wild and cultivated accessions. Amp2

2 (z = −4.633, p < 0.001) and Fle3

(z = −2.858, p < 0.010) were significantly more represented in cultivated compared to wild cowpea forms. The mean number of alleles per locus in wild (1.632 alleles/locus) cowpea were significantly higher (t = 2.805, p < 0.010) compared to cultivated (1.263 alleles/locus) cowpea. Also, the proportion of polymorphic loci (P = 52.63%) and average Nei’s genetic diversity (He = 0.126) were important in wild, compared to the cultivated plants: P = 26.31% and He = 0.063, respectively. The low level of diversity found in domesticated accessions compared to wild can be attributed to a major genetic bottleneck that probably happened during the domestication process. Cluster analysis revealed by UPGMA dendrogram separated the 62 accessions into three clusters. Although an admixture of both wild and cultivated accessions within the same cluster were found, the dendogram, however, highlighted a visible separation between wild and cultivated cowpea. Wild cowpea with many more private alleles indicates an untouched resource available for future breeding.
