Productivity and apprenticeship employment intensity in Scotland: A longitudinal study at the enterprise level
Authors: Sobrevilla Alma , Mackay Zoe , Walczak Martyna , Greig Malcolm 
Published: September 2023

ObjectivesWe investigate the relationship between apprenticeship employment and productivity. Creating a new linked dataset allowed us to explore this research question for Scotland for the first time. Skills Development Scotland (SDS) holds data on employers of Modern Apprentices (MAs), but does not collect industry, size or economic performance measures such as Gross Value Added (GVA). Therefore, it was necessary to match our employer records to the Inter Departmental Business Register (IDBR) using Enterprise Reference Number (ERN).
MethodsThe Office for National Statistics (ONS) identified multiple matches for many Company IDs, so a cleaning process was required to identify a single match for each record. This involved matching records based primarily on company name and address.
We carried out Random Effects, Fixed Effects and System Generalised Method of Moments (GMM) regressions to analyse the relationship between productivity (real GVA per worker) and apprenticeship employment intensity (number of in-training apprentices as a proportion of total employment).
ResultsWhen we summarise the final dataset by enterprise, 42,486 company IDs were matched to 19,180 unique enterprises. We were able to link our SDS MA employer dataset to the following ONS datasets: Annual Business Survey, Business Register and Employment Survey, Business Structure Dataset, Business Enterprise Research and Development, Labour Force Survey, Employer Skills Survey and data on Producer Price Index.
Using this matched dataset we found a significant positive relationship between productivity and apprenticeship employment, which is robust to the inclusion of enterprise-level fixed effects (factors that are specific to each enterprise that could affect productivity but that do not change over time) and the use of a System GMM framework.
ConclusionOur results suggest that enterprises with a high proportion of apprentices are more productive, even after controlling for enterprise and industry-level characteristics. In order to study this relationship, it was crucial to construct a matched dataset containing information from different sources (SDS and ONS datasets).

O presente artigo aborda a política de ações afirmativas na Universidade Federal do Maranhão, com enfoque para a política de bonificação regional. Ao longo do processo de elaboração das políticas de ações afirmativas, houve proposições e variantes de bonificações em diversas Instituições de Ensino Superior. No tocante à política de bonificação regional na UFMA, buscamos investigar como ela foi instituída a partir das resoluções: 499/2006, 501/2006, 1653/2017, processo administrativo 9179/2017 e relatórios do Sistema Integrado de Gestão de Atividades Acadêmicas-SIGAA, bem como se os efeitos observados no acesso dos candidatos configura de fato uma política de ação afirmativa, que pressupõe atender aos princípios de democratização, sobretudo para as minorias que historicamente tiveram negados os seus direitos de acesso aos espaços privilegiados de cursos de alta demanda, a exemplo do curso de medicina. Este estudo é do tipo exploratório-descritivo, que faz uso da pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, tendo como aporte teórico Bourdieu (2018), Carvalho (2013) e Dias Sobrinho (2011). Os resultados apontam para uma necessidade de repensar a política no sentido de um reordenamento e aprimoramento para que de fato ela tenha uma maior objetificação, efetividade e realmente se configure como ação afirmativa.

SOME THEORETICAL AND APPLIED PROBLEMS OF VERBS WITH BORROWINGS OF ARABIC ORIGIN
Authors: KUMUNZ MHER , NERSISYAN LUSINE , MKRTUMYAN ANAHIT 
Published: September 2023

The article discusses the issue of the composition of verbs with foreign roots, with the study of borrowings of Arabic origin in the dialectal area of Syunik-Artsakh. It becomes clear that the borrowings of Arabic origin, which have become verbs in the Armenian language, differ from other borrowings.
Little attention is paid to the meaning of the grammatical and lexical patterns of the borrowed language. Some borrowings of Arabic origin have passed through other languages. Most direct or indirect borrowings from Arabic are formed by analytic verbs.
The group of borrowings does not have its substitutes in the Armenian language, but they did not pass into the literary language either. Borrowings of this type are called complete if they fill a gap in the expression of a concept in a borrowed language, e.g., munnat (մո̈ւննաթ) “1. gratitude, 2. envy, 3. duty" > minna(t) منّة > manna منّ "mercy, mercy". And those borrowings that have synonymous substitutes in a borrowed language can be considered partial, such as zarar anel (զարար անէլ ) "harm", zararlu (զարարլու) "harmful" < ضَرر (zarar) "disable".
Arabic borrowings did not affect on the general structure Armenian and its dialects. They enriched the vocabulary with the necessary concepts.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common types of malignant cancers worldwide. Although molecularly targeted therapies have significantly improved treatment outcomes, most of these target inhibitors are resistant. Novel inhibitors as potential anticancer drug candidates are still needed to be discovered. Therefore, in the present study, we synthesized a novel 4-(1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-ylthio)pyrimidine derivative (compound 4) using fragment- and structure-based techniques and then investigated the anticancer effect and underlying mechanism of anti-CRC. The results revealed that compound 4 significantly inhibited HCT116 cell proliferation with IC
50 values of 8.04 ± 0.94 µmol L–1 after 48 h and 5.52 ± 0.42 µmol L–1 after 72 h, respectively. Compound 4 also inhibited colony formation, migration, and invasion of HCT116 cells in a dose-dependent manner, as well as inducing cell apoptosis and arresting the cell cycle in the G2/M phase. In addition, compound 4 was able to inhibit the activation of the MEK/ERK signaling in HCT116 cells. And compound 4 yielded the same effects as the MEK inhibitor U0126 on cell apoptosis and MEK/ERK-related proteins. These findings suggested that compound 4 inhi bited cell proliferation and growth, and induced cell apoptosis, indicating its use as a novel and potent anticancer agent against CRC via the MEK/ERK signaling pathway.

Authors: Zang Binbin , Wang Lihui 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
The current work was conducted to elucidate the pharmacological effect of pyrazole-conjugated imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazine derivatives against acute lung injury in rats in sepsis and their mechanism of action. Various pyrazole-conjugated imidazo[1,2-a]-pyrazine derivatives have been synthesized in a straightforward synthetic route. They exhibited a diverse range of inhibitory activity against NF-ĸB with IC
50 ranging from 1 to 94 µmol L–1. Among them, compound 3h [(4-(4-((4-hydroxyphenyl)sulfonyl) phenyl)-5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl) (8-(methylamino)imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazin-2-yl)methanone] was identified as the most potent NF-κB inhibitor with IC
50 of 1.02 µmol L–1. None of the synthesized compounds was found cytotoxic to normal cell-line MCF-12A. The pharmacological activity of the most potent NF-ĸB inhibitor 3h was also investigated in cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced sepsis injury of the lung in rats. Compound 3h was administered to rats after induc tion of lung sepsis, and various biochemical parameters were measured. Results suggested that compound 3h significantly reduced lung inflammation and membrane permeability, as evidenced by H&E staining of lung tissues. It substantially reduced the generation of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1B, IL-6) and oxidative stress (MPO, MDA, SOD). It showed attenuation of NF-ĸB and apoptosis in Western blot and annexin--PI assay, resp. Compound 3h also reduced the production of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from the lung and provided a protective effect against lung injury. Our study showed the pharmacological significance of pyrazole-conjugated imidazo[1,2-a] pyrazine derivative 3h against acute lung injury in sepsis rats.
Philosophical inquiry into intercultural communication and the teaching of culture in foreign language teaching
Authors: Jie Zeng 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Based upon meaning holism in the philosophy of language, this article discusses issues of intercultural communication and explores the philosophical basis of cultural difference, pointing out that cultural difference does have its necessity, but can be bridged through language exchange and education under the guidance of a holistic view of language. This is so because culture essentially consists of a system of beliefs that a language user has of the world, life and society. Such being the case, this article proposes an independent, systematic and specialised curriculum for the teaching of culture so as to help students enrich their system of cultural beliefs, by virtue of questioning and speculating in an effort to find the rationale for foreign culture beliefs.
Using the ordinal priority approach for selecting the contractor in construction projects
Authors: Alkaabi Sajjad Ali Mahmood , Raoof Mahjoob Ahmed Mohammed 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Effective decision-making process is the basis for successfully solving any engineering problem. Many decisions taken in the construction projects differ in their nature due to the complex nature of the construction projects. One of the most crucial decisions that might result in numerous issues over the course of a construction project is the selection of the contractor. This study aims to use the ordinal priority approach (OPA) for the contractor selection process in the construction industry. The proposed model involves two computer programs; the first of these will be used to evaluate the decision-makers/experts in the construction projects, while the second will be used to formulate the OPA mathematical model. The experts’ interview was used to identify the criteria of evaluation process of the decision-makers/experts, while Delphi survey with principal component analysis (PCA) was conducted to identify the required selection criteria of the construction projects contractors. The results illustrate that there are 20 criteria for selecting the construction contractor, and 7 criteria for evaluating the decision-makers/experts in the construction projects. Finally, the proposed model has been applied in a real construction project, and showed good results.

Published: September 2023

Purpose: To evaluate the in vitro metabolic compartmentalization between strains of actinobacteria and rhizobia isolated from Brazilian semiarid soils and observe the effect of their coinoculation on the development of cowpea plants.

Theoretical Framework: The study is based on the importance of microbial interactions in soil, such as metabolite and enzyme sharing, for nutrient cycling and plant growth promotion.

Method: Twenty-six rhizobial strains and 23 actinobacteria were cocultured in vitro in media containing xylan, pectin and calcium phosphate. Strains were characterized regarding compatibility on different substrates. Two Streptomyces sp. strains and eight Bradyrhizobium sp. strains were selected and coinoculated in cowpea plants in a greenhouse to evaluate plant development and gas exchange.

Results: Compatibility between strains varied significantly among the tested substrates, being higher in pectin and phosphate. Coinoculation resulted in increased values of several biometric parameters compared to standard treatments with only rhizobia or nitrogen fertilization.

Conclusions: The association of microorganisms with distinct metabolic capabilities, such as enzyme production, promotes bacterial coexistence and facilitates plant development through complementarity mechanisms.

Originality: There are scarce studies on metabolic interactions and growth promotion involving actinobacteria and rhizobia from semiarid soils.

Published: September 2023

Purpose: To evaluate the potential of actinobacterial strains from the Brazilian semiarid to establish facilitation relationships with native rhizobia from the same region.

Theoretical framework: The study is based on the ecological and biotechnological importance of soil actinobacteria, producers of biosurfactants and enzymes, and of nitrogen-fixing rhizobia in legumes.

Method: 50 strains of actinobacteria were isolated from soils from Ceará with different levels of anthropization and 19 strains of rhizobia using cowpea. The morphological, cultural and micromorphological characterization of the strains was performed, as well as the evaluation of their enzymatic profiles. In vitro facilitation tests were conducted between cellulolytic actinobacteria and non-cellulolytic rhizobia.

Results: The soil areas presented a similar composition of actinobacteria, but strains from the anthropized area showed higher enzymatic activity. Two Streptomyces strains promoted the growth of non-cellulolytic rhizobia in vitro, indicating potential application as bioinoculants in microbial consortia.

Conclusions: The study contributes to the knowledge of the interaction between beneficial microbial groups from the semiarid region and their possible biotechnological use in agriculture.

Originality/value: Works on coinoculation between actinobacteria and rhizobia from semiarid soils are scarce.

Cinema, televisão, literatura e outras formas de expressão artística se apoiam nas características diferentes de seus personagens para trazer a tensão para o enredo. Muitas vezes, tais características são doenças psiquiátricas graves, representadas de forma errônea e caricata. De que forma a ficção incentiva e reforça o preconceito que paira sobre a doença psiquiátrica? Como a população absorve esse preconceito e o coloca em prática através da Psicofobia? Estas perguntas e muitas outras serão respondidas no próximo ABP TV.

Alterações do sono estão presentes nos sintomas cardinais de diversas doenças mentais: depressão, transtorno bipolar, transtornos ansiosos, esquizofrenia, entre outros. De acordo com o artigo "O sono em transtornos psiquiátricos", publicado na Revista Brasileira de Psiquiatria - RBP, um levantamento realizado em cidades americanas apontou que 40% dos entrevistados que relataram insônia e 46,5% dos que relataram hipersonia preenchiam os critérios para transtornos mentais. Ainda segundo o artigo, as queixas mais frequentes dos pacientes acometidos por doenças mentais está relacionada à dificuldade de começar a dormir e também de manter o sono, além da ausência do "sono reparador", que pode ser observada na maioria dos transtornos.

Published: September 2023

OBJECTIVE: To summarize the effectiveness of interventions for changing movement during weight-bearing functional tasks in people with patellofemoral pain (PFP). DESIGN: Systematic review with network meta-analysis (NMA). LITERATURE SEARCH: Medline, Embase, CINAHL, SPORTDiscus, and Cochrane Library were searched from inception up to May 2023. STUDY SELECTION CRITERIA: Randomized controlled trials involving people with PFP and nonsurgical, nonpharmacological interventions on task kinematics were included. DATA SYNTHESIS: NMA was conducted for frontal knee movement data, and pairwise meta-analysis was used to pool data when NMA was not possible. Reduced movements were those changes that indicated movements occurring with less amplitude. The GRADE approach was used to grade the certainty of the evidence. RESULTS: Thirty-seven trials were included (n = 1235 participants). Combining knee/hip exercises with internal feedback had the strongest effect on reducing frontal knee movements (standardized mean difference [SMD] from NMA = −2.66; GRADE: moderate evidence). On pairwise comparisons, the same combination of interventions reduced frontal hip movements (SMD = −0.47; GRADE: moderate evidence) and increased sagittal knee movements (SMD = 1.03; GRADE: moderate evidence), with no effects on sagittal hip movements (GRADE: very low evidence), compared to knee/hip exercises alone. There was no effect for single applications of braces on the frontal knee movement (GRADE: very low evidence) and taping on movements of the knee, hip, and ankle (GRADE: very low to low evidence) compared to no intervention. CONCLUSION: Knee/hip exercises combined with internal feedback techniques may change knee and hip movements in people with PFP. The combination of these interventions can reduce frontal knee and hip movements, and can increase sagittal knee movements. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2023;53(12):748-760.

Published: September 2023

Cases of malnutrition among children under five in Pekanbaru City still occur, because of the lack of knowledge of parents in caring for and monitoring the growth and development of children and ignorance of parents in providing nutrition to their toddlers. The purpose of this study was to analyze the implementation of the Kampung KB program in improving family welfare. The research method used in this research is quantitative descriptive, where data sources were obtained from interviews, questionnaires and documentation. Input of this activity is that the enthusiasm of Family Members towards BKB counseling activities is high and gets good responses, and there are a variety of activities carried out in an integrated manner, but sometimes not all family members and cadres can be present during the implementation of the activity, because it has its own busyness. Process of this activity, that BKB implementation has been routinely carried out. Recording and reporting of activities has also been carried out well, but in meetings / counseling conducted more focused on improving the quality and knowledge of cadres only. Output of this activity, is that the understanding of the people who take part in BKB counseling activities is more understanding about child development. However, the increase in the number of family members participating in the BKB outreach was not optimal.
