Moral Judgements of Contemporary Adults (Parents, Teachers, Tutors)

AbstractThe article presents the results of the analysis of adults’ moral judgements, directly connected with the process of socialization of the younger generation in big-city life. The comparative analysis we have carried out allows us to discuss the question of homogeneity/heterogeneity of the joint team of tutors, to elicit significant differences for each category and to raise the issue of possibility of mutual substitution among the roles of tutors, teachers and parents

Entangled Two-Dimensional Coordination Networks: A General Survey

Many of the reported species exhibit the intriguing feature of interpenetration or other types of entanglements. The properties of these materials are related not only to their molecular structures but also to the topology of the individual networks as well as to the way in which the individual nets are entangled. Different synthetic procedures have been developed to attain a certain control of entanglement in coordination networks, and recently some reviews have appeared that are focused on factors governing the entanglements, having in mind their potential applications. However, these analyses are mostly devoted to 3D networks thanks to the great wealth of data on interpenetration. Simplification of a network that contains 2-loops can lead to complete disappearance of the entanglement, and therefore such networks were picked out into a separate group

Age influence in gender stereotypes related to Internet use in young people

[EN]The existence of gender stereotypes in relation to the use of the Internet led to the need to carry out the present study, which approaches young people perception of the use of the Internet and technologies. Based on knowledge of the existence of gender stereotypes in relation to the use of the Internet, the objective of the study is to detect whether the age of young people, with some previous experience on the Internet, marks differences in relation to the use they make of the Internet; in other words, whether the use made of the world network and the existing stereotypes may or may not have some type of dependent relationship with the age of the subjects. The study was applied in a group of the University of Salamanca (Spain) during the academic year 2018/2019, after the previous realization of activities during four months of sensitization, under the European project WYRED (netWorked Youth Research for Empowerment in the Digital). The final sample was composed by 48 subjects. For this purpose, a questionnaire was applied with 40 final items, which collected different activities that can be carried out on the Internet in order to find out what trend of use they presented in relation to the Internet, in comparison to their age. The two groups consisted of 26 people aged 20 or younger, and 22 people aged 20 or older. By means of a descriptive analysis, and the application of normality tests and non-parametric tests, no dependent relationships were detected between the use of the Internet after carrying out the survey and the age group in which the subject belonged. For the future it would be of special interest to be able to repeat the study comparing the opinion and use of young people on the Interne

ОСОБЕННОСТИ ДИАГНОСТИКИ СЛИЗИСТОГО РАКА МОЛОЧНОЙ ЖЕЛЕЗЫ

The paper presents the diagnostic results of 27 patients with mucinous breast cancer, which is a rare type of invasive ductal breast cancer accounting for less than 2% of all breast cancers. The role of radiological, histological and cytological examination in the diagnosis of mucinous breast cancer is evaluated. In cases with large tumors, it was difficult to differentiate mucinous breast cancer from fibrocystic and other benign breast lesions.Представлены результаты обследования 27 больных слизистым раком молочной железы, который является редкой формой заболевания, он встречается примерно в 2 % случаев. Описаны особенности лучевой, цитологической и гистологической диагностики. Отмечено, что при слизистом раке больших размеров имеются трудности в дифференциальной диагностике с поликистозными и другими доброкачественными образованиями молочной железы

Two‑Dimensional Copper Coordination Polymer Assembled with Fumarate and 5,5’‑Dimethyl‑2,2’‑bipyridine: Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Magnetic Properties

[[Cu(fum)(dmb)]·H2O]n, exhibiting weak antiferromagnetic interactions, displays a two-dimensional array comprised of rhombic dinuclear units, where the carboxylate moieties of fumarate bridging ligand displays monodentate and oxo-bridging coordination modes connecting two Cu centers.[[Cu(fum)(dmb)]·H2O]n (1) (fum = fumarate; dmb = 5,5’-dimethyl-2,2’-bipyridine) was obtained by a self-assembly solution reaction, at ambient conditions, and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy and X-ray single crystal diffraction. Crystallographic studies show that 1 crystallizes in a triclinic system with a P-1 space group, with a = 8.2308(2) Å, b = 9.7563(2) Å, c = 10.3990(2) Å; α = 80.3444(4)°, β = 77.9517(4)°, γ = 82.0440(5)°; V = 800.45(3) Å3. The Cu(II) centers are five-coordinated with a distorted square pyramidal configuration. The formation of a two-dimensional (2D) array in 1 can be explained by the presence of two different coordination modes in the fumarate ligand: μ-η1:η0 and μ2-η2:η0, both in a bridging monodentate manner, the latter generating distinctive rhombic-dinuclear units. The thermal stability of 1 has also been analyzed. Magnetic measurements revealed that this polymer exhibits weak antiferromagnetic ordering.Universidad Autonoma del Estado de México Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Méxic

Использование контрастного усиления при ультразвуковом исследовании простых и сложных кист почек

In developed countries, the main methods of research and dynamic monitoring of cystic kidney formations are CT and MRI, but their use is impossible in patients with severe concomitant diseases, as well as in the presence of metal structures, pacemakers, etc. Additionally, taking into account the high dose of radiation exposure when using CT obtained by the patient during dynamic observation, the development of alternative methods is relevant. These include, but not limited to, ultrasound using contrast enhancement, which can be used as an alternative or additional method in primary diagnosis or in the dynamic observation of cystic kidney formations. In the article, the authors provide their own experience with the use of an ultrasound contrast medium for the diagnosis and dynamic observation of complex kidney cysts, as well as the introduction of ultrasound observation using a contrast medium to classify patients according to Bosniak M.A.The study included the results of the use of contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in 28 patients with various cystic formations of the kidneys. The patients were previously divided into two groups: the first consisted of 13 patients with simple cysts, the second – 15 with suspected complex cysts. As a result of the study, the patients were distributed as follows: 15 patients were classified as Bosniak type I, 7 patients – as type II, 3 - type III, 3 - type IV. The studied CEUS method is simple and effective. The specificity of the method was 78.57%, the accuracy of the method was 85.71%, the predictive value of the positive result was 81.25%, and the predictive value of the negative result was 91.66%. CEUS helps to quickly and accurately conduct differential diagnosis between a simple cyst and a complex one, as well as classify cysts according to M.A. Bosniak.В развитых странах основными методами исследования и динамического наблюдения за кистозными образованиями почек являются КТ и МРТ, однако их применение невозможно у пациентов с тяжелыми сопутствующими заболеваниями, а также при наличии в организме металлоконструкций, кардиостимуляторов и т.д. Дополнительно принимая во внимание высокую дозу лучевой нагрузки при использовании КТ, получаемой пациентом при динамическом наблюдении, является актуальной разработка альтернативных методик. К относится ультразвуковое исследование с применением контрастного усиления (КУУЗИ), которое может использоваться как альтернативный или дополнительный метод в первичной диагностике или в динамическом наблюдении кистозных образований почек. В статье авторы приводят собственный опыт применения при ультразвуковом исследовании контрастного препарата для диагностики и динамического наблюдения сложных кист почек, а также внедрения этой технологии для распределения пациентов по классификации M.A. Bosniak.В основу исследования вошли результаты применения КУУЗИ у 28 пациентов с различными кистозными образованиями почек. Предварительно пациенты были разделены на две группы: первую составили 13 пациентов с простыми кистами, вторую – 15 пациентов с подозрением на сложные кисты. В результате исследования было получено следующее распределение пациентов по М.А. Bosniak: 15 отнесены к I категории, 7 – ко II, 3 – к III, 3 – к IV. Исследуемый метод КУУЗИ отличается простотой и эффективностью. Специфичность метода составила 78,57%, точность метода – 85,71%, прогностичность положительного результата – 81,25%, прогностичность отрицательного результата – 91,66%. КУУЗИ помогает быстро и качественно провести дифференциальную диагностику между простой кистой и сложной, а также классифицировать кисты по M.A. Bosniak

A global look at time: a 24-country study of the equivalence of the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory

In this article, we assess the structural equivalence of the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory (ZTPI) across 26 samples from 24 countries (N = 12,200). The ZTPI is proven to be a valid and reliable index of individual differences in time perspective across five temporal categories: Past Negative, Past Positive, Present Fatalistic, Present Hedonistic, and Future. We obtained evidence for invariance of 36 items (out of 56) and also the five-factor structure of ZTPI across 23 countries. The short ZTPI scales are reliable for country-level analysis, whereas we recommend the use of the full scales for individual-level analysis. The short version of ZTPI will further promote integration of research in the time perspective domain in relation to many different psycho-social processes

Finishing the euchromatic sequence of the human genome

The sequence of the human genome encodes the genetic instructions for human physiology, as well as rich information about human evolution. In 2001, the International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium reported a draft sequence of the euchromatic portion of the human genome. Since then, the international collaboration has worked to convert this draft into a genome sequence with high accuracy and nearly complete coverage. Here, we report the result of this finishing process. The current genome sequence (Build 35) contains 2.85 billion nucleotides interrupted by only 341 gaps. It covers ∼99% of the euchromatic genome and is accurate to an error rate of ∼1 event per 100,000 bases. Many of the remaining euchromatic gaps are associated with segmental duplications and will require focused work with new methods. The near-complete sequence, the first for a vertebrate, greatly improves the precision of biological analyses of the human genome including studies of gene number, birth and death. Notably, the human enome seems to encode only 20,000-25,000 protein-coding genes. The genome sequence reported here should serve as a firm foundation for biomedical research in the decades ahead
