Abstract:

Feminist critiques of science provide fertile ground for any investigation of the ways in which social influences may shape the content of science. Many authors working in this field are from the natural and social sciences; others are philosophers. For philosophers of science, recent work on sexist and androcentric bias in science raises hard questions about the extent to which reigning accounts of scientific rationality can deal successfully with mounting evidence that gender ideology has had deep and extensive effects on the development of many scientific disciplines.Feminist critiques of biology have been especially important in the political struggle for gender equality because biologically determinist arguments are so often cited to ‘explain’ women’s oppression. They explain why it is ‘natural’ for women to function in a socially subordinate role, why men are smarter and more aggressive than women, why women are destined to be homebodies, and why men rape.

Abstract:

Modern economic science studies the behavior of an individual making choice in conditions of limited resources, and seeking to satisfy his own interests as a result of this choice. Economics is a social science as it studies the behavior of an individual which involves the interests of other people and communities. Economics is close to natural sciences as it considers the behavior of an individual in a material world of limited resources. Besides, a human being may be considered as a material system in which there are certain biological processes influencing its behavior. The question of how fully can economics use methodological assumptions of natural sciences, is sharply debatable. The author's position is that the cooperation between economics and natural sciences has both objective grounds and objective problems. In any case, economics is not a natural science, and the natural sciences shouldn't have a priority in this dialogue. It is only a new stage in self-reflection of different sciences. The importance of this research is defined by the need of studying the scientific status of economics and the prospects of its development in terms of the subject and methodology.

Abstract:

Biological Sciences is the discipline that studies the most diverse aspects of microscopic and macroscopic life forms on earth. This vast field of studies enables biologists to follow numerous paths according to their professional interest.<br />Biological Sciences has made rapid advances in Biochemistry, Biophysics, Biotechnology, Botany, Cell Biology, Ecology, Ethnobiology, Evolutionary Biology, Genetics, Immunology, Mycology, Microbiology, Morphology, Parasitology, Physiology and Zoology. In some cases, the expansion of different fields of Biological Sciences is tied to the crisis of biodiversity and environmental problems, such as the extinction of species, the introduction of invasive exotic species, increasing habitat loss and degradation, the overexploitation of natural resources, pollution, diseases and human-induced climate change.<br />In 2017, Pesquisa e Ensino em Ciências Exatas e da Natureza/Research and Teaching in Exact and Natural Sciences (PECEN) received 28 manuscripts for evaluation and published 18 papers, all related to the field of Biological Sciences. An analysis of the papers published in year shows that the field of Zoology (branch of Biology that studies the animal kingdom) has been the flagship of publications with 7 papers so far. Among the contributions within Zoology published in PECEN are papers involving the following sub-fields of knowledge: (2) Morphology of Recent Groups; (4) Taxonomy of Recent Groups; and (3) “ecological interactions” – phenomenon and object of study also in the field of Ecology. In 2017, PECEN also published important contributions in the fields of Ecology (2), Environmental Sciences (1), Health and Biological Science (1), Mycology (2) and Science Teaching (2).<br />Contributions in the fields of biodiversity and science teaching will undoubtedly continue to play an important role in the scientific production of PECEN in both qualitative and quantitative terms. However, given the vast field of Biological Sciences, we expect a substantial increase in the number of publications on the most diverse subjects in 2018.<br />It is important to emphasize that PECEN is a multidisciplinary journal that receives contributions from diverse fields, such as Agrarian, Biomedical, Chemical, Earth, Environmental, Health and Exact and Natural Sciences. The fundamental mission is to strengthen multidisciplinary publications through scientific and theoretical-methodological studies as well as thematic literature reviews. Regardless of the number of submissions, the main factor for publication in PECEN is the importance and quality of the contributions.

Abstract:

There are almost irreconcilable differences between Plato?s notion of science (episteme) and the modern notion, but also certain similarities. In the late dialogues such as The Theaetetus, The Philebus, and The Timaeus, Plato redefines his own notion of knowledge developed in The Republic to some extent. Genuine knowledge does not refer solely to the unchangeable aspects of reality. Plato?s characterization of cosmology as an eikos logos (?likely story?) in The Timaeus is an anticipation of the concept of falsifiability that dominates modern philosophy of science. Experience and observation, as well as mathematical, psychological and biological concepts, occupy a significant, indispensable place within the structure of Timaeus? cosmological model.

Abstract:

Race and racism are considered standard subject matter in introductory college courses in the social sciences, but remain relatively absent in biological science courses (Donovan, 2015; Morning, 2011). Given a resurgence of biologically deterministic racial science (e.g., Risch et al., 2002; Shiao et al., 2012) and ongoing racial tensions in the United States, it is imperative that biology professors actively engage students in introductory and upper-level courses. This paper presents a tested approach used in an introductory natural science course (for undergraduate, non-science majors) at a mid-sized regional university. A biocultural focus is advocated for teaching about the fallacies (i.e., biological race concept) and realities of race (i.e., racism) (e.g., see Gravlee, 2009; Thompson, 2006). Further, an emphasis is placed on using a visual approach for relaying these complex and sensitive topics.

Abstract:

Social and Biological Context of Physical Culture and SportAuthor underlines that biological sciences connected with the human being are traditionally - after MacFadden, among others - counted among physical culture sciences. Because of the bodily foundations of human physical activity, they perform - shortly speaking - a significant cognitive function: they describe natural foundations of particular forms of movement. In spite of the fact that knowledge in that respect is extremely important for multiform human activity in the field of physical culture, it is not knowledge of cultural character. From the formal (that is, institutional) viewpoint it is strictly connected with culture studies, but it has separate methodological and theoretical assumptions. Knowledge of that type is focused on the human organism and not on effects of mental, axiocreative, symbolic activity of the human being entangled in social relations. It includes auxiliary data which support practical - that is, in that case, physical, bodily - activity. Its reception of axiological (ethical and aesthetical), social (philosophical, sociological, pedagogical, historical {universal or strictly defined - referring e.g. to art and literature with the connected theories} or political) character is dealt with by the humanities (in other words: social sciences) constituting an immanent and the fundamental - and hence the most important - part of culture studies. Putting stress on alleged superiority and the dominating role of natural (biological in that case) sciences within physical culture sciences and the connected marginalization of the humanities - which constitute, after all, a necessary and hence an unquestionable foundation for culture studies, their essence and objectivisation - is, euphemistically speaking, a clear shortcoming in the field of science studies.The abovementioned exaltation and aspirations for superiority, as well as deepening and more and more aggressive marginalization of the humanities (understood in that paper as a synonym for social sciences) in the field of physical culture sciences may lead to the separation of biological sciences.

Abstract:

AbstractThe term “physical culture” is, first of all, associated (referring to the etymology of the word “culture” from the Latin “colo,-ere”, meaning “to cultivate”, “to inhabit” or “to honor”) with cultivation and taking care of the human “physis” – obviously in the context of social and natural environment. What matters in physical cultural reflection is not movement as such – as a purely physical phenomenon – but only such a form of movement which has been cultivated and attributed with conventionalized social values of symbolic and autotelic character. Biological sciences connected with the human being are traditionally – after MacFadden, among others – counted among physical cultural sciences. Because of the bodily foundations of human physical activity, they perform a significant cognitive function: they describe natural foundations of special forms of movement, but they are not offering knowledge of cultural character. As there are no values in the human being’s nature, the biological sciences within the institutional field of physical culture can with their separate methodological and theoretical assumptions only offer an auxiliary, supportive function. Physical cultural sciences are primarily dealing with the significant relations between humans in physical cultural practices, with knowledge of an axiological (ethical and aesthetical) and social (philosophical, sociological, pedagogical, historical or political) character. The alleged superiority of biological sciences within physical cultural sciences and the connected marginalization of the humanities – which constitute, after all, a necessary and hence an unquestionable foundation for cultural studies – is, therefore, a clear challenge in the institutional field of physical culture.

Abstract:

AbstractThis article looks at how fisheries biologists of the early twentieth century conceptualized and measured overfishing and attempted to make it a scientific object. Considering both theorizing and physical practices, the essay shows that categories and understandings of both the fishing industry and fisheries science were deeply and, at times, inextricably interwoven. Fish were both scientific and economic objects. The various models fisheries science used to understand the world reflected amalgamations of biological, physical, economic, and political factors. As a result, scientists had great difficulty stabilizing the concept of overfishing and many influential scholars into the 1930s even doubted the coherence of the concept. In light of recent literature in history of fisheries and environmental social sciences that critiques the infiltration of political and economic imperatives into fisheries and environmental sciences more generally, this essay highlights both how early fisheries scientists understood their field of study as the entire combination of interactions between political, economic, biological and physical factors and the work that was necessary to separate them.

Full text

Abstract:

Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) have emerged as a group of remarkable delivery vectors for various hydrophilic macromolecules, otherwise excluded from cells due to the protective plasma membrane. Unbiased conclusions regarding e.g. uptake mechanism, intracellular distribution and cargo delivery efficacy is complicated by the use of different methodological parameters by different laboratories. The first paper in this thesis introduced unifying protocols enabling comparison of results from different research groups. One of these methods, HPLC, was used in paper II to investigate CPP uptake and degradation in yeasts. Both parameters varied depending on peptide and yeast species; however pVEC emerged as a promising delivery vector in yeast since it internalized into both species tested without concomitant degradation. Protein mimicry was another investigated phenomenon and in paper III a 22-mer peptide from the p14Arf protein (Arf (1-22)) was found to be sufficient for retaining its function as a tumor suppressor. This peptide comprised a combination of apoptogenic property and CPP in one unity, thus providing opportunity to conjugate cytotoxic agents boosting the tumoricidal activity. Surprisingly, a partially inverted control peptide to Arf (1-22), called M918, was found to be an extraordinary CPP. In paper IV, it was shown to be superior to well-established CPPs in delivery of both peptide nucleic acids and proteins. Albeit the promising results these two peptides displayed, their utility in vivo, as with all peptides, is hampered by rapid degradation. With the aim of improving their stability, Arf (1-22) and M918 were synthesized with D-amino acids in the reverse order, a modification called retro-inverso (RI) isomerization. Their cell-penetrating ability was retained, but the treated cells displayed unexpected morphological alterations indicative of apoptosis. The presented results demonstrate the versatility of CPPs, functioning as vectors in both yeast and mammalian cells and as protein mimicking peptides with biological activity. Their potential as drug delivery agents is obvious; however, peptide degradation is an issue that requires further improvements before clinical success is in reach.
At the time of the doctoral defense, the following papers were unpublished and had a status as follows: Paper 5: In press.

Abstract:

This study examines the navigation of structural pressures, limitations and conservation policies by the community of Hobeni Village in the practice of traditional rituals within the context of nature conservation. It considers how ceremonies such as uKuqatywa komntwana, Intonjane, Ulwaluko, ukunikezelwa ko-Mkhontho, and Umcimbi/ Umgidi play a vital role in the construction of personhood among small groups of men, women and teenagers identifying as Xhosa people in the Hobeni Village in the Eastern Cape. The qualitative research drew insights from indigenous knowledge already known to the researcher, current research, participatory observation and semistructured interviews conducted on twenty-four members of the community. The ethnographic study found that systemic methods of nature conservation Vis a Vis symbolic oppression, sit in tension with the rituals performed by members of the AmaXhosa at Hobeni village. It argues that for Hobeni residents, accessing the natural resources placed under conservation is a vital aspect of their identity formation, which is impacted by conservation. The research found that current conservation practices pose a threat not only to AmaXhosa practices of identity formation and sense of belonging but also to the maintenance of their culture. The connection of the Hobeni people with nature is limited by conservation methods that force them to adapt their traditional practices that attempt to find congruence with their belief systems, but that strain the relationship between these villagers and their ancestors. In the search for alternative methods to preserve natural resources and maintain the culture of Hobeni village, this dissertation calls for the establishment of a different approach to conservation that is context-specific and community-centred. A transformative approach to conservation could advance environmental justice without compelling the community to negatively negotiate, as is currently the case, their cultural practices or erode their entanglement with nature. The contribution of this study lies in challenging the narrative or ideologically laden discourses that perceive people as a threat to nature and the environment. This dissertation concludes that people possess diverse knowledge systems and resources that enable them to coexist and conserve nature in their surroundings or living environment.

Abstract:

Understanding the spatial probability of fire and how urban development may alter natural patterns is particularly important in areas where alternate ecosystem states occur at fine spatial scales. The Cape Peninsula, South Africa, is a one such region where fire-sensitive forest patches occur interspersed in a sea of fire-dependent fynbos. Fire is believed to be an important determinate of forest distribution, with absence or occurrence of fires potentially allowing patch contraction and expansion. In this thesis I use a series of computer models to determine the extent to which anthropogenic development and land transformation have altered the spatial variation in fire likelihood, or the 'burn probability', and its consequence for the distribution of forest on the Cape Peninsula. The two multi-model, fire behaviour simulation systems I use are FlamMap and FARSITE. FARSITE is a deterministic simulation package used globally for discrete event simulation. In an effort to assess the viability of using the FARSITE model for fire prediction in fynbos and the determinants of model accuracy, I predicted fire area for a historical fire on the Cape Peninsula using a variety of fuel models and wind conditions. Following this validation, FlamMap was used to simulate the burn probability of the Cape Peninsula under natural conditions – no urban development present – and transformed conditions – where urban areas mapped as non-burnable fuel models. I then determined changes in forest distribution documented over the last 50 years relative to changes in burn probability as a result of urbanisation. My results show that an increase in urbanisation on the Cape Flats has produced a significant urban shadow effect due to the interruption of natural fire catchments. This urban shadow effect has resulted in an overall increase in area of fire refuges on the Peninsula and expansion of forest, particularly on the more mesic eastern slopes at Kirstenbosch and Newlands. The results strongly support that urban-mediated changes to fire patterns are drivers of forest expansion in this region, and adds further evidence to support the significance of fire in determining biome boundaries in the fynbos.

Full text

Abstract:

The development and spread of bacterial resistance to antimicrobials is now recognised as a key threat to public health and society. A small number of antimicrobials, including imipenem and vancomycin, are now considered to be the drugs of ‘last resort’ for treating antibiotic resistant bacteria. This study investigates and characterises antibiotic (imipenem) resistant bacteria in environmental and clinical samples from the U.K. Imipenem resistant (ImR) bacteria were isolated and characterised from river water samples from East Yorkshire and soil samples from Lincolnshire. ImR clinical isolates from different hospitals (York, Sheffield and Hull) were also characterised. Phenotypic resistance to imipenem was observed in 11.2% (75/670 CFU ml⁻¹), 13.3% (145.35 x 10⁵/ 109.1 x 10⁶ CFU g⁻¹) and 38.5% (42/109) of water, soil and clinical bacterial isolates, respectively. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of the clinical isolates were generally higher (> 32 mg L⁻¹ in 71.4% of isolates) than those of the environmental isolates, which were around 4 mg L⁻¹ in 63.4% of water isolates and in 42.7% of soil isolates. β-lactamase activity studies showed that the most common β-lactamases among the environmental isolates were class B metallo β-lactamases (MBLs) (84.2%), while class A Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemases (KPCs) (40.5%) were the most common β-lactamases observed in the clinical isolates. Higher frequencies of multi-drug resistant (MDR) patterns were detected among the environmental isolates than among the clinical strains. Sequencing of 16S rRNA genes identified 30 (17 species), 96 (27 species), and 42 (11 species) ImR bacteria in water, soil and clinical samples, respectively. The most abundant genera identified were Caulobacter (36.7%), Stenotrophomonas (44.8%) and Stenotrophomonas (40.5%) from water, soil and clinical environments, respectively. PCR products were generated from ImR clinical isolates and some of the environmental isolates using primers targeting β-lactamase genes. Sequence analysis of these products from clinical isolates showed that they were specific and related to β-lactamase genes. However, the products from environmental isolates were not related to known genes characterised from antibiotic resistant clinically important bacteria. This suggests that there is a potentially large and divergent gene pool encoding for imipenem ressitance within natural environments, and that river water and agricultural soil are important as reservoirs of novel antibiotic resistance. Genome sequencing was used to characterise 8 MDR Stenotrophomonas spp. isolates from water, soil and clinical samples. This analysis showed the detection of β-lactamases genes (between 8 and 15 genes per isolate) including class A (L2), B (L1) and C (AmpC), fluoroquinolones resistance genes (between 4-8 genes per isolate), and genes encoding MDR efflux pumps (between 23-32 genes per isolate). Antibiotic resistance genes for other antimicrobials were also observed in small numbers; these represented aminoglycoside, sulphonamide and tetracycline resistance. Genes encoding resistance to heavy metal resistance (between 13-27 genes per isolate) were also observed. Overall, this research has demonstrated the widespread presence of imipenem resistant bacteria in environmental and clinical settings, carrying multiple resistances to other antibiotics. In particular, imipenem resistant Stenotrophomonas spp. were present in all of the environments studied and these bacteria were found to harbour multiple and diverse antibiotic resistance genes, that differed between isolates from environmental and clinical origins.

Full text

Abstract:

Mussels living in coastal environments are often exposed to natural inorganic particles and hence may be well adapted to dealing with high sediment loads. The mechanisms by which they deal with particle loads do, however, cause stress and alter metabolic processes. An increasingly common anthropogenic addition to particle loads in the ocean are microplastic particles. Numerous recent experiments have addressed the impacts of microplastics on metabolic performance, but few of these have used natural reference particles to control for the concurrent effects of particle load itself. This study aims to compare the effects of microplastic and of natural particle exposure on the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis, an invasive species which has become the dominant mussel in the mid- to low-shore of the south and west coasts of South Africa, but is absent from areas prone to sand inundation. These effects will be compared to those on the native mussel Choromytilus meridionalis, which resides on the low shore, and unlike M. galloprovincialis often occurs in areas prone to sand inundation. Respiration rates, byssus production, clearance rate, body condition (BCI) and survival of mussels exposed to four concentrations of two particle types, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and red clay were measured. A significant concentration effect was found in the respiration rates of Mytilus galloprovincialis, while C. meridionalis respiration rates were largely unaffected by both particle type and particle concentration. The byssus numbers of M. galloprovincialis were significantly reduced by microplastic exposure, whilst no particle type effects were found in C. meridionalis. Clearance rates of C. meridionalis, on the other hand, were significantly affected by particle concentration, while no effects were found on M. galloprovincialis. The BCI of C. meridionalis was also found to be affected by particle concentrations, while M. galloprovincialis was unaffected. All C. meridionalisindividualssurvived the experiment, while 29 M. galloprovincialis died. Mortality of M. galloprovincialis exposed to the two particle types was not significantly different, although more mortality was suffered in PVC treatments than in red clay treatments. The results reveal that there was indeed a difference in the response of M. galloprovincialis to the different particle types, and that the two species did exhibit different strategies to both particle type, and concentration. Experimental studies of this nature are imperative in order to disentangle microplastic effects from those of particles in general, and to develop a better understanding of potential impacts of plastic debris on marine ecosystems.

Abstract:

AbstractAlthough there is no necessary relation between “big data” and “monism”—the program of reducing cultural and mental processes to computational and biological principles—both these programs reject a dualism between res extensa and res cogitans. Opposing this philosophy of science, I have argued in the above chapter that a second contingency of possible relations and expectations feeds back on the manifest relations. This second contingency cannot be studied from a natural-science or life-sciences perspective, but is the proper domain of the social sciences, where the focus is on what things mean as different from what they are. Next-order selection mechanisms can take evolutionary control. The complexity of the communication evolves against the arrow of time in terms of interacting codes, which generate redundancies and therefore new options. As human beings, we can follow the potentially unintended consequences of the communication dynamics reflexively. Both consciousness and communication are self-organizing and thus resilient against steering.

Abstract:

Various approaches toward ecological education of schoolchildren using the resources of museums (Darwin Museum, MSY Zoological Museum, Moscow Zoo, MSU Agriculture Museum, K. Timiryazev Biological Museum) are discussed. The ecological approach makes the founding principle of structuring displays and research and educational activities of the museums of the natural sciences. Their educational environment provides support for personal creative development, for educating ethical principles of social behavior and attitudes toward nature.
