Development and Pilot Validation of the DuMAND Checklist to Screen for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy-Associated Neurobehavioral Difficulties (DuMAND)
Authors: Geuens Sam , Goemans Nathalie , Lemiere Jurgen , Doorenweerd Nathalie , De Waele Liesbeth
Published: May 2024

Background:

Patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) face a higher risk of neurobehavioral problems, yet an international consensus on screening, assessing, and managing these difficulties is lacking.

Objective:

This report introduces the term Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy-Associated Neurobehavioral Difficulties (DuMAND) to comprehensively cover the spectrum of neurobehavioral issues in DMD patients, including behavior, psychiatric disorders, and various cognitive, academic, and psychosocial deficits. To facilitate screening, the DuMAND Checklist, a 43-item tool with five subscales, was developed.

Methods and results:

DuMAND categories were derived through literature review, parent (48 mothers and 37 fathers), and expert ( n = 28) input and feedback. The DuMAND Checklist subscales were developed iteratively, incorporating item selection, expert panel ( n = 10) assessment for face validity, comprehensiveness, and a pilot validation study in a DMD sample ( n = 20). DuMAND encompasses five categories: cognition and learning, social responsiveness, emotion regulation, externalizing behavior, and eating and sleeping. Preliminary validation of the DuMAND Checklist indicates acceptable-to-excellent internal consistency and construct validity.

Conclusion:

By introducing the DuMAND concept, this study seeks to inspire a consensus approach for screening, assessing, and managing neurobehavioral issues in DMD. Incorporating screening, using the DuMAND Checklist, in addition to medical follow-up will facilitate early intervention, addressing a critical gap in identification of neurobehavioral disorders in DMD. Future research is needed to further evaluate psychometric properties of the DuMAND Checklist and investigate the natural course of DuMAND.
Characterizations That Help Explain Particle and Cosmic Data
Authors: Buckholtz Thomas J.
Published: May 2024

This paper suggests explanations for otherwise seemingly unexplained data about elementary particles and cosmology. The explanations have bases in coordinate-based modeling and in integer-based characterizations for some catalogs. One catalog features properties - including charge, mass, and angular momentum - of objects. Another catalog features all known and some possible elementary particles. Assumptions include that multipole-expansion mathematics has uses regarding long-range interactions - such as gravity - and that nature includes six isomers of all elementary particles other than long-range-interaction bosons. One isomer associates with ordinary matter. Five isomers associate with dark matter. Multipole notions help explain large-scale aspects such as the rate of expansion of the universe.

Backstepping Control Design in Conjunction with an EKF-based Sensorless Field-Oriented Control of an IPMSM
Authors: Uyulan Caglar
Published: May 2024

The collector and brushless electronic commutation machines have gained widespread utilization in industrial applications. Among these machines, internal permanent magnet synchronous motors (IPMSMs) have become increasingly popular due to their numerous advantages, including high torque/current and torque/inertia ratios, robust construction, high efficiency, and reliability. However, the incorporation of position sensors in IPMSMs has introduced challenges concerning their application, performance, mass production, and cost. Consequently, the implementation of sensorless control techniques has become essential in drive systems and various applications.

This paper proposes a backstepping control approach for achieving speed sensorless control of IPMSMs, employing an extended Kalman filter (EKF). The first step involves developing a comprehensive nonlinear dynamical model of the IPMSM in the direct and quadrature (d-q) rotor frame and obtaining its corresponding state-space representation. Subsequently, backstepping controllers for rotor speed and current tracking are designed to ensure precise tracking and anti-disturbance performance. These controllers are integrated into the field-oriented control (FOC) scheme. The Lyapunov stability theorem is employed to guarantee the asymptotic stability condition of the backstepping controller.

To address the challenge of estimating immeasurable mechanical parameters of the IPMSM and accurately tracking the system states, an EKF is designed. This filter enables the estimation of mechanical parameters and achieves high steady-state precision within a finite time. The effectiveness of the proposed methodology is demonstrated through simulations conducted under various dynamic operating conditions, including sudden torque load changes, command speed changes, and parameter variations.
EL FENÓMENO PARAMILITAR EN COLOMBIA
Authors: Patiño Otty
Published: May 2024

Se está asistiendo en Colombia a la segunda gran crisis del paramilitarismo. Ello no quiere decir que este fenómeno, surgido en la década de los setenta, esté agonizando. Puede ocurrir una nueva depuración, como ya sucedió en la década pasada. Pero esta crisis es mucho más profunda, debido a la descalificación que Estados Unidos ha hecho de sus miembros al considerarlos narcotraficantes y terroristas. Las actuales negociaciones del presidente Uribe con ellos pueden desactivar este factor de violencia o ayudar a generar una tercera generación de paramilitares. Lo más probable es esto último.

EZLN: POLÍTICA Y PODER DESDE LOS MOVIMIENTOS SOCIALES
Authors: Almeyra Guillermo
Published: May 2024

El Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional, como todos los movimientos, no ha tenido una sola y misma política a lo largo de los años. Si comparamos, en efecto, la Primera Declaración de la Selva Lacandona y las sucesivas con la última hasta ahora en esa sucesión –la Sexta Declaración– vemos que el clásico insurreccionismo del primer momento, con el objetivo de derrotar al ejército en una lucha armada y tomar la ciudad de México y el gobierno deja paso: a) a un esfuerzo por romper el aislamiento físico en algunos distritos de Chiapas mediante alianzas nacionales e internacionales (con Cuautéhmoc Cárdenas y el Partido de la Revolución Democrática (PRD), con sectores de la llamada “señora sociedad civil” nada definida y con las fuerzas del exterior que concurrieron al Encuentro Intergaláctico), b) a un encerramiento en los municipios zapatistas pero manteniendo un gran apoyo y una fuerte propaganda en el extranjero, c) al intento de modificar la Constitución mediante presiones y por las vías legales, recurriendo para eso a la Marcha del Color de la Tierra que desembocó en la Cámara de Diputados, y d) al silencio prolongado, nuevamente el encierro y la construcción de los experimentos autonómicos llamados Caracoles y Juntas de Buen Gobierno sobre bases locales para terminar ahora con la Sexta Declaración, e) por último, en la Sexta Declaración, a la política a nivel nacional y la construcción de un frente político y social.

Del General Intellect a las tesis del “capitalismo cognitivo”: aportes para el estudio del capitalismo del siglo xxi
Authors: Míguez Pablo
Published: May 2024

Este trabajo propone una aproximación sistemática al enfoque del capitalismo cognitivo y sus aportes para la comprensión del desenvolvimiento del capitalismo contemporáneo. Esta nueva etapa del desarrollo capitalista se caracteriza por colocar el conocimiento y el cambio tecnológico en el centro de los procesos de valorización del capital y, simultáneamente, generar contradicciones nuevas derivadas de la creciente complejidad de los procesos de producción resultantes de la división “cognitiva” del trabajo. Las consecuencias sociales de estas nuevas configuraciones socioproductivas se encuentran en pleno desarrollo y problematizan el lugar de “lo común” en las redes complejas del nuevo capitalismo.
Regionalismo estratégico, cooperación sur-sur y desarrollo en América Latina en el siglo xxi
Authors: Lo Brutto Giuseppe , González Reyes Edgar Ignacio
Published: May 2024

El inicio del siglo XXI está acompañado de cambios en la geopolítica mundial, de los cuales el continente latinoamericano es protagonista. La relación Norte-Sur en tanto política como económica, atraviesa hoy más que nunca por grandes reconfiguraciones desde nuestro continente a través de la conformación de bloques regionales que, por un lado pueden seguir las dinámicas de subordinación al modelo neoliberal que han caracterizado las relaciones de poder del sistema internacional en las últimas décadas, pero, por otro, pueden representar un obstáculo para la reproducción de este esquema de subordinación y alineamiento. A la luz de esta idea, este trabajo pretende en su primera parte analizar los rasgos distintivos de este cambio de paradigmas desde la perspectiva latinoamericana, partiendo del análisis del llamado regionalismo estratégico. Posteriormente se analizará la relación que lo anterior guarda con la evolución de los conceptos de desarrollo desde el siglo pasado hasta nuestros días, así como sus consecuentes estrategias de Cooperación Internacional para el Desarrollo. Finalmente, y en base a estas dos primeras ideas, se examina el rol que tiene en los países del sur, principalmente en Latinoamérica, en el Sistema de Cooperación Internacional para el Desarrollo bajo el formato Sur-Sur.

In this article, the authors explore the issues of violence against women and present facts and arguments that confirm the high level of latent domestic violence. Kazakhstani society often perceives "domestic crime" as a norm, which leads to impunity for domestic tyrants, as they remain unknown to law enforcement authorities due to the lack of reports from the victims and witnesses who silently suppress this crime. The article's research operates on the premise that domestic violence against women is a largely hidden offense, necessitating the assessment, examination, and organization of preventative efforts undertaken by law enforcement and governmental institutions in addressing domestic violence against women. Furthermore, it highlights the importance of integrating approaches employed by law enforcement, governmental institutions, and civil society to effectively prevent domestic violence against women. The research methodology is an empirical analysis of data obtained experimentally. In conclusion, based on the study, the authors come to the conclusion that it is necessary to adopt and implement more targeted actions, policies and measures to identify and assess domestic violence and its latency to improve the situation in this area. The value of the study is associated with the emergence of new development prospects and the need to generalize the methods used by law enforcement, government agencies and civil society in the prevention of domestic violence against women. Assessment, analysis and systematization of the preventive work carried out constitute one of the areas of this work. The practical significance of the results of the work lies in its conclusions and proposals that can contribute to further combating domestic violence.

The scientific article presents a review of the legal component of procurement for public needs taking into account modern environmental criteria and the functioning of the Institute of «green» public procurement in the country. In order to assess the practical application of environmental criteria in public procurement, the authors of this article assess the possibility of their application in the Republic of Kazakhstan, taking into account the new draft law under discussion. The ways of legislative support necessary for its full-fledged launch are discussed. Successful practices in foreign countries are considered. The purpose of the article is to assess the practical application of the current legislation regulating the sphere of public procurement in the country by reviewing it from the point of view of the use of environmental criteria, as well as analyzing the possibilities of legislative support of the institute of «green» public procurement in general. The authors of the article note that given the fact that «green» public procurement is an important tool for ensuring environmental safety, improving the environmental situation, the introduction of this institution in the country is a critical need. However, for this purpose, according to the authors, a clear legal procedure of environmental requirements and conditions should be approved in public procurement. The new law to be adopted and the changes that are being made to the industry as a whole are important for the successful launch of the institution of green public procurement in the country. However, the quality of the provisions to be enshrined together with the main law is also a critical need.
Family conflicts and the ways of their resolution At the end of the 19th – at the beginning of the 20th Century (according to the materials of the press of Sub-Russian Ukraine)
Authors:   Zhytomyr College of Trade and Economics of State University of Trade and Economics, Krugliak Maryna , Pashkivskyi Valerii ,   Lyceum No. 20 of Zhytomyr
Published: May 2024

The purpose of the research is to analyze the features of coverage on the pages of the press of Sub-Russian Ukraine at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries family conflicts and the ways of their resolution proposed by the state and the public. The research methodology is based on such general scientific principles as historicism, objectivity, systematicity, as well as on the use of general scientific (analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, classification and typology, comparison and abstraction, generalization and systematization) and special (historical-genetic, historical and comparative, analogy) methods. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the fact that for the first time in domestic historical science, coverage of family conflicts by the press at that time is considered; the ways of their solution are focused on; the importance of mass media for the formation of the concept of a new family, free from patriarchal norms, in which separate cohabitation of spouses, premarital sexual relations and divorce is a common phenomenon, is demonstrated. Conclusions. Family conflicts were an everyday phenomenon of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as evidenced by numerous informative and analytical publications in the press of Sub-Russian Ukraine of that time. Most often, the causes of conflicts were of a romantic nature (jealousy, adultery), often they occurred when one of the spouses was intoxicated, in a state of affect and nervous excitement, and were accompanied by the use of household items (knives, axes) and firearms, chemical and poisonous substances (sulphuric and carbolic acids, arsenic). Physical violence by a man against a woman was a common phenomenon in the Russian Empire during the period of modernization. The reasons for this can be considered the patriarchal system of society; significant influence of the church, which condemned the separate residence of men and women; complexity of the divorce procedure; low level of literacy of people from the poor strata of society; availability of alcohol and weapons. A part of court cases, which were accompanied by the murder of one of the spouses, ended with an acquittal by the jurors. Local press commentators were often on the side of those acquitted by the court, which testifies to the fact that the progress towards achieving gender equality and the emancipation of women, albeit slowly, was taking place, and the patriarchal foundations of society were gradually being destroyed in the direction of democratization. Some saw in this the collapse of the family as a social institution. Probably, we should talk about the natural transformation of the family, which was a natural phenomenon in accordance with the changes in the economy and culture, one of the catalysts of which was the press.
Jewish genealogical sources in Dnieper Ukraine at the end of the 18th – beginning of the 20th century: A Historiography

Published: May 2024

This article focuses on the analysis and critique of scientific literature devoted to the sources of Jewish Genealogical Sources in Dnieper Ukraine at the end of the 18th - beginning of the 20th century. The methodological basis of the article is the generally accepted principles of historicism, objectivity and systematicity, as well as the historiographical analysis and synthesis, historical-genetic, comparative-historical, typological, and other methods. The scientific novelty lies in the creation of a historiographical model which includes an analysis of the conditions for the development of historical science and the activities of historians who worked in the field of Jewish history and genealogy. Conclusions. The architecture of the historiographical model for studying the sources of Jewish genealogy from the point of view of periodization covers the imperial (until 1917), Soviet, and Ukrainian Independence periods. A separate segment is foreign historiography (in this work - with no division into periods) focused on the study of sources in the archives of Ukraine not only by foreign researchers but also by institutions. In the imperial period, historians not only studied Jewish history but also engaged archives by discovering and publishing documents. Soviet historiography of the 1920s and 1930s is represented by writings about the history of Jewish communities in certain regions and the role of Jews in social and political processes. Scholars also concentrated on collecting and researching Jewish archives. The anti-Zionist policy of the USSR government and the persecution of Jews during the Stalinist repressions (1930s) and later in the 1950s and 1980s made further research of Jewish history impossible. With the Independence of Ukraine, research on Judaica became significantly more active: articles, monographs, and theses on various topics appeared, conferences were held, and scientific journals and centres were founded. People from Ukraine and abroad searched for Jewish roots in Ukrainian archives. The activation of scientific and practical interests prompted the description of archival documents, the creation of historical and genealogical directories, including those on Jewish topics. Large-scale publishing projects were implemented, and later the digitization of genealogical sources began. Foreign scholars also described Jewish documents in Ukrainian archives. The National Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, the Central Archives of the History of the Jewish People and Yad Vashem in Jerusalem, FamilySearch International, and others joined the projects of digitization and indexing of Jewish documents in the archives of Ukraine.
The problems of women’s higher education in the Russian Empire and the emigration of women to Switzerland In the 1870s

The purpose of the research is to investigate the state of higher female education in the Russian Empire in the second half of the 19th century and find out the reasons for female educational emigration to Switzerland in the early 1870s. The research methodology is based on the principles of historicism and objectivity. The general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis, as well as special-historical - problem-chronological, comparative-historical, and retrospective methods - are used. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that little-researched aspects of the reasons for the educational emigration of women to Switzerland in the early 1870s are highlighted. The point of view of the government circles of the Russian Empire on the expediency of organizing women's higher education at home and their attempts to obtain education abroad is shown. The attitude of women revolutionaries to their experience of studying in Switzerland is revealed. Conclusions. Women's attempts to obtain higher education were motivated by the desire for self-realization and to raise their social status. They believed they could prove by their example that there was every reason to grant women equal rights to men. The half-heartedness and incompleteness of the reforms in the Russian Empire, which gave women access only to secondary education, forced them to look for alternative ways of acquiring scientific knowledge in non-formal education and universities abroad. In emigration, regardless of the initial goal, a new circle of communication often changed female students' views, convincing them to take the path of revolutionary struggle.
Portrait of women in art as an element of Soviet Ideology (heroine-worker, heroine-mother, woman in the image of socialist realism) in the age of “Thaw” and “Stagnation”
Authors:   Oleksandr Dovzhenko Hlukhiv National Pedagogical University, Hrytsenko Andriy , Chumachenko Оlena ,   Oleksandr Dovzhenko Hlukhiv National Pedagogical University
Published: May 2024

In the article, the authors investigated and analyzed the aspect of the depiction of women in art during the "thaw" and "stagnation" as a key element of the Soviet ideology of those times. The purpose of the article is to study the role of heroine-worker, mother-heroine, and modern woman in the image of socialist realism. Based on this, the authors drew attention to their symbolic significance in forming ideological concepts and social values in this period. The methodological basis of the research is the use of the principles of historicism, systematicity, and comprehensiveness, as well as a combination of problem-chronological methods of induction and deduction. The scientific novelty. The authors make an essential contribution to understanding the role and portrayal of women in Soviet art during the periods of "thaw" and "stagnation". By analyzing heroine-workers, heroine-mothers, and modern women in the context of socialist realism, the article highlights new aspects of their symbolic significance, which contributes to expanding the understanding of Soviet ideology and influencing the perception of the role of women in society. Conclusions. Under the influence of Soviet ideology and communist propaganda, the changed image of a woman was like an allegory of the Motherland, contributing to educating patriotism and love for the native land and the entire Soviet state and socialist society, especially in the younger generation. The result of this process came to be completely new aspects in the perception of the role of women, which were widely reflected in works of art and testified to the modification of traditional stereotypes and social roles in the Soviet socialist society. Women's participation in various spheres of the Soviet economy, supported by ideological influence, was reflected in their new image in art, positively highlighting various aspects of their daily lives and roles in a socialist society.
Prison care in the Kherson province in the second quarter of the XIX century

Published: May 2024

The purpose is to study the specifics of prison care in the Kherson province in the second quarter of the nineteenth century. The research methodology is based on the principles of a specific historical approach or historicism. The study uses historical and genetic, historical and comparative, periodisation, and descriptive methods. The scientific novelty of the study is that it is the first attempt to form a holistic view of the origins of prison care in the Kherson province, in particular in such cities as Kherson and Alexandria. The study analyses for the first time the formation and activities of the Kherson Prison Care Committee, and examines its work in modernising the prison system. At the same time, the first attempts to establish trusteeship committees in the county towns of the province are studied. In turn, the activities of the Kherson Committee of Trustees were examined in the context of the formation of prison care in the Ukrainian provinces of the Russian Empire. Conclusions. It has been established that the Kherson Prison Trusteeship Committee emerged after the construction of the Kherson prison castle, which was a typical phenomenon in the Ukrainian provinces of the empire. The development of its activities, like most regional committees, can be divided into two stages. From its foundation in 1835 to the 1840s, the committee introduced significant changes to the prison regime and prisoners' living conditions, trying to organise the functioning of the provincial prison on the basis of the Prison Instruction of 1831. During the 1840s, until the reform of prison care in 1851 and the provincial audit, the committee's activity declined and it performed exclusively economic functions. The reason for the passivity of local elites in promoting prison reform is associated with the lack of educational and ecumenical ideals inherent in the organisers of prison reforms in Western Europe and the capital of the Russian Empire..

Authors: Nirmal Kirti , Gupta Priyanka , Ahmad Nadeem , Nath Smita , Singh Narendra Pal , Das Shukla
Published: May 2024

Objectives: The objective of this study is to determine the bacteriological profile and their antimicrobial susceptibility pattern among clinically suspected adult septicemia admitted patients and to study the correlation between the clinical presentation and inflammatory biomarkers (C-reactive protein [CRP] and Procalcitonin [PCT]) in the final outcomes of nosocomial sepsis in adult septicemia patients. Material and Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study of 1-year duration from November 2022 to November 2023. The study has been approved from the Institutional Ethical Committee. Adult patients with a clinical suspected diagnosis of sepsis were admitted to the medicine ward of the tertiary hospital. Blood samples of adult sepsis suspected patients samples were taken for as a part of septicemia screening. Blood culture and sensitivity were performed according to standard guidelines. The sepsis inflammatory prognostic markers CRP and PCT test were evaluated according to manufactures instruction. Results: Out of 300 clinically suspected adult septicemia patients, 93 (31%) patients were isolated culture-positive sepsis while 207 (69%) patients were culture-negative sepsis. Gram-positive organisms were more (69%) as compared to Gram-negative organisms (31%). Staphylococcus aureus was predominant among Gram-positive organisms while Acinetobacter baumanii complex (9%) followed by Enterobacter spp. (8%) isolated in Gram-negative bacilli. Culture-positive sepsis patients have CRP level ≥3.2 mg/dL (80%) and the majority (80%) of these patients have reactive PCT. Conclusions: Successful treatment of bloodstream infection depends on early diagnosis and appropriate use of antimicrobial agents. Rapid identification results and antimicrobial susceptibility tests are essential for guiding clinicians in the selection of the most appropriate treatment for patients with bloodstream infections.

Стаття присвячена дослідженню актуальних питань щодо особливостей системи управління персоналом в умовах воєнного стану. Досліджено напрями розвитку унікальних управлінських здібностей підприємства за умови ефективного використання трудового потенціалу її працівників. В сучасних умовах персонал підприємств повинен відповідати таким вимогам, як швидка реакція на попит покупців, розвинені комунікативні здібності, здатність швидкої адаптації до змін структури та функціональних обов'язків, психологічна стійкість до стресових ситуацій, уміння працювати в команді, творчі здібності, професійна мобільність, прагнення до професійного зростання тощо. Узагальнено теоретичні підходи до управління персоналом. Зроблено висновок, що у системі управління персоналом змінився об'єкт управління, що призводить до необхідності перегляду методів та змісту функцій управління. Доведено, що організація, яка вирішує завдання забезпечення стабільного функціонування та сталого розвитку у середовищі жорсткої конкуренції, має передбачати активне застосування інноваційних методів управління людськими ресурсами. Зміна парадигми управління персоналом зумовила необхідність управління людиною як носієм інтелектуального капіталу, що формується в результаті взаємодії з іншими елементами соціально-економічної системи. Для підвищення ефективності системи управління персоналом слід акцентувати увагу на економічних та соціально-психологічних методах, покращенні економічного аналізу, використанні морального та матеріального стимулювання праці та створенні сприятливого соціально-психологічного середовища.
BUREAUCRATIC ARRANGEMENT IN THE GOVERNMENT ADMINISTRATION PROCESS TOWARDS THE CONCEPT OF PUBLIC SERVICE BASED ON GOOD GOVERNANCE
Authors: Arifuddin N
Published: May 2024

The bureaucracy arrangement in the government administration process studied in this research is how the role of the bureaucracy in the government administration process and the factors that influence the bureaucracy in the government administration process. This research is an empirical juridical legal research, by looking directly at the legal behavior of bureaucratic officials. Legal materials obtained regarding the structuring of government administration processes in Maros Regency are analyzed to find solutions to the problems faced. The results showed that the bureaucratic arrangement in the government administration process in Maros Regency, can be seen from the administrative management process by looking at the level of ease of service procedures, speed in service, low costs charged to the people, professionalism of officials in providing services. That the Maros Regency government in realizing the governance administration process has been running even though it is still not optimal. This is because there are still irregularities that occur in terms of public services to the community, although this is still in the stage of reforming towards excellent service standards. The influencing factor in the implementation of the bureaucracy in the implementation of public services in Maros Regency in serving the community is the availability of sufficient budget to support the operational implementation of public services. And the inhibiting factor is the service procedure factor, in addition to the lack of facilities and infrastructure.
Inconsistencies of CSR Regulations in the Law Limited Liability Company in Relation to Justice Values

Published: May 2024

The discussion in this journal is built on the inconsistencies in the regulations regarding CSR in Article 74 of Law Number 40 of 2007 concerning Limited Liability Companies, namely: First, the implementation of CSR is mandatory for companies that carry out their business in the field and/or related to natural resources. Second, the CSR funding system is voluntary. The purpose of this research is to find answers to the implications arising from the main problems mentioned above, namely: First, what are the legal implications in relation to justice from the inconsistency of regulations regarding CSR? Second, what is the ideal concept of CSR regulation? The research method used in this research is: descriptive normative research with a legal approach, legal theory and doctrine, and legal comparison. Research Results and Discussion: First, the implications of inconsistencies in CSR regulations in the Limited Liability Company Law can have an impact on the law enforcement process not being optimal in terms of justice, benefit and legal certainty as well as giving rise to unclear norms in relation to the CSR funding system which results in injustice for the community as the beneficiary CSR. Second, a more ideal concept of CSR regulation is: according to John Rowls’ Theory of Justice, if CSR funding sources are calculated from a portion of the Company’s profits, and according to Aristotle’s theory of justice, then the CSR funding system should be calculated as a percentage of the Company’s profits based on the principle of proportional equality between retention rights for Companies and the rights of the community as recipients of CSR benefits.

This was also experienced by the Bangka Belitung Islands province, specifically the Dul Village, Pangkal Baru District, Central Bangka Regency. The prevalence of stunting in the province of Bangka Belitung reaches 27% of the stunting rate owned by Indonesia, which is 30%. Overcoming this problem is the provision of knowledge to the public using appropriate media. The abstract nature of stunting material requires proper media in the process of transferring knowledge. The result of this activity is the level of understanding of the people who take part in the high socialisa- tion. This is evidenced by the difference between the posttest and pretest scores of 60. The conclusion of this activity is that the process of transferring knowledge about stunting, its impact and prevention is appropriate and effective.

The study focuses on communication strategies, specifically examining how they are perceived and used in English-speaking activities, as well as the impacts of verbal communications strategies (VCSs) on the performances of second-year English students from the Faculty of Foreign Language Teacher Education and the Faculty of English at the University of Danang-University of Foreign Language Studies (hereafter called EFL students for brief) as well as to propose appropriate solutions to assist them to improve their communication skills. Data were collected from 280 questionnaires, and the analysis of the in-depth interviews was conducted with 10 student informants and observations of 40 students in total. The findings show that most students were familiar with the term “communication strategies”, though they did not know exactly what the term referred to. Additionally, EFL second-years employed all twelve studied VCSs at various frequencies. Both positive and negative influences were reported, and judgement about errors from surrounding people was chosen as the biggest obstacle when applying VCSs. Several solutions were discussed in the study to solve these problems.

The gut microbiota plays a critical role in maintaining a healthy human body and its dysregulation is associated with various diseases. In this study, we investigated the influence of gut microbiome diversity on the development of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Analysis of stool samples from 59 CLL patients revealed individual and heterogeneous microbiome compositions, but allowed for grouping of patients according to their microbiome diversity. Interestingly, CLL patients with lower microbiome diversity and an enrichment of bacteria linked to poor health suffered from a more advanced or aggressive form of CLL. In the Eµ-TCL1 mouse model of CLL, we observed a faster course of disease when mice were housed in high hygiene conditions. Shotgun DNA sequencing of fecal samples showed that this was associated with a lower microbiome diversity which was dominated by Mucispirillum and Parabacteroides genera in comparison to mice kept under lower hygiene conditions. In conclusion, we applied taxonomic microbiome analyses to demonstrate a link between gut microbiome diversity and the clinical course of CLL in humans, as well as the development of CLL in mice. Our novel data serve as a basis for further investigations to decipher the pathological and mechanistic role of intestinal microbiota in CLL development.
