Authors: MANTSUROV Igor , KHRAPUNOVA Yana , OMELCHENKO Valeriy
Published: August 2021

The aim of this article is to develop a conceptual model of the institutional analysis, planning and control comprehensive system, which, according to the authors’ point of view, has to be integrated organically into the overall system of the governmental management.The article starts with the analysis of the of the “new institutional economics” methodology’s contributions to theoretical research in the area of applied economics, with particular emphasis to developing countries, particularly to Ukraine.Then authors continue by providing an overview of the new institutional economics theory and methodology as well as their several branches. Particularly, it is described the authors’ point of view in regard to the fundamental definitions of the institutional theory.One of the article’s purposes is to outline the basic features of the institutional planning theory and to justify its interpretation in the general planning theory framework. Carrying out this task, the authors describe the existing diversity of planning theories and the main achievements of the new institutional economics in the development and implementation of planning procedures.From authors’ point of view, institutional planning is the economic theory in which planning is described as the sequence of actions of organizations or/and people responsible for planning procedures and stakeholders in order to get the immediate and final planning results.The successful implementation of such model would help the planners and stakeholders to get the results that consist in the effectiveness of the national economy and its competitiveness.

Modeling the dynamics of epidemics of infectious diseases under conditions of diffusion perturbations
Authors: Bomba Andrii , Baranovsky Serhii
Published: August 2021

The paper proposes a modification of the SIRS epidemic model to take into account the influence of diffusion perturbations on the dynamics of the spread of an infectious disease. A singularly perturbed model problem with delay is reduced to a sequence of problems without delay. The sought functions are represented in asymptotic series as perturbations of solutions of the corresponding degenerate problems. The results of numerical experiments illustrating the influence of spatially distributed diffusion redistributions on the spread of an infectious disease are presented.

Using formal security models in secure databases
Authors: Vilihura Vladislav , Gorbenko Yuriy , Yesin Vitaliy , Rassomakhin Serhiy
Published: August 2021

The paper contains key provisions (requirements) that should be followed when building secure databases using the capabilities of the main formal access control models, such as discretionary access control models, mandatory access control models, role-based access control models. At the same time, it is noted that any security model does not provide protection but only provides the principle of building a secure database, the implementation of which should ensure the security properties inherent in the model. The security of the database is equally determined by: the properties of the model itself (one or more), its (their) adequacy to the threats affecting the system, and how it (they) is correctly implemented(s). The decisive factor in making a decision is always an assessment of a specific situation, which will allow you to make the right choice, including the complex use of formal models.
Mathematical and computer modelling of interconnected processes of moisture- and heat mass transfer in non-saturated soil layer
Authors: Vlasyuk Anatoliy , Ilkiv Ihor , Tsvietkova Tetiana
Published: August 2021

The paper presents the mathematical modelling of joint processes of moisture transfer and mass transfer in a non-saturated medium taking into account Osmos phenomena under non-isothermic conditions. Numeric calculations of corresponding boundary tasks were found by a method of finite differences using non-evident and monotonous differential schemes adapted for solving non-linear differential equations. As a result of program implementation of the constructed calculation algorithm, the distribution was found of salt solutions concentration under joint transfers and the impact of heat transfer was determined upon distributions of moisture heads and salts concentration in a soil mass. Obtained results may be used to determine moisture heads and salts solutions spreading in soils which is an applied task.
Interpolation rational integral fraction of nth order on a continuum set of nodes
Authors: Demkiv Ihor , Baranetskyi Yaroslav , Berehova Halyna
Published: August 2021

The paper constructs and investigates an integral rational interpolant of the nth order on a continuum set of nodes, which is the ratio of a functional polynomial of the first degree to a functional polynomial of the (n-1)th degree. Subintegral kernels are determined from the corresponding continuum conditions. Additionally, we obtain an integral equation to determine the kernel of the numerator integral. This integral equation, using elementary transformations, is reduced to the standard form of the integral Volterra equation of the second kind. Substituting the obtained solution into expressions for the rest of the kernels, we obtain expressions for all kernels included in the integral rational interpolant. Then, in order for a rational functional of the nth order to be interpolation on continuous nodes, it is sufficient for this functional to satisfy the substitution rule. Note that the resulting interpolant preserves any rational functional of the obtained form.
Isochronous Gaussian Sampling and its applying to the Falcon Signature Scheme
Authors: Derevianko Yaroslav , Baklykov Oleksandr
Published: August 2021

This paper describes a block framework for generating discrete Gaussian components with arbitrary center and standard deviation. Simplicity makes it easy to implement secure, portable, effective, and time-resistant. This sampler is a good candidate for any sample analysis. Most importantly, it was recently introduced into the Falcon Signature Scheme. Gaussian sampling over integers is a central element of algebraic lattice cryptography, which is difficult to perform efficiently and safely. Given the vast number of uses of sampling processes, it is important to select Gaussian samplers that are effective provably secure, resistant to transient attacks, and generally easy to implement. Sampling with other distributions, other than Gaussian, is yet an open question.
Quantum attack against post-quantum electronic signature complexity and implementation probability analysis
Authors: Kaptol Yevheniy
Published: August 2021

The paper identifies and analyzes attacks aimed at Rainbow post-quantum electronic signature cryptanalysis. Today, due to advances in the quantum computers development, the need to present new standards for electronic signatures resistant to both quantum and classical cryptanalysis arisen. To solve the lack of such electronic signatures, NIST USA is running the NIST PQC competition. As part of this competition some electronic signatures designed to resist quantum cryptanalysis were presented, including Rainbow electronic signature. CZ-Rainbow and the compressed Rainbow algorithm were also presented along with the regular Rainbow algorithm. This paper analysis attacks on all three types of electronic signature. The possibility of a quantum attack against the Rainbow electronic signature, as well as the complexity of such an attack, defines the possibility of this electronic signature usage during the post-quantum period.

An approach to increase the JPHIDE steganograms detection accuracy
Authors: Koshkina Nataliia
Published: August 2021

The paper proposes a method for improving the accuracy of steganoanalytical systems that use an ensemble classifier. The method involves a weighted final vote of several highly sensitive models of characteristic vectors. Its effectiveness was evaluated for the task of detecting steganograms created by the Jphide program. The accuracy obtained by usage of one of the models: LIU, CC-PEV, CC-C300, DCTR, PHARM, GFR and with using a combination of several models according to the developed method was compared. The test results proved that the weighted final voting of several highly sensitive models does increase the accuracy of the detection of steganograms with a relatively small payload (short secret messages) without compromising the accuracy of the detection of steganograms with a high payload.

Published: August 2021

The objective of our study was to investigate the genetic structure of yet uninvestigated populations of three closely related horse breeds – the Danubian Horse, the Hungarian Nonius and the Serbian Nonius – in order to clarify their origin and genetic diversity. A 640-bp-long fragment of the mtDNA D-loop region was amplified and sequenced. The results showed that the investigated breeds have different genetic profiles although they share some common characteristics. We identified nine of the 17 haplogroups described in modern horses. Most of the obtained sequences fall into the M, L, G, and O’P lineages, which is indicative of the genetic profile of the ancestral mares that had probably been used at the initial stages of the formation of the breeds. The population of the Danubian Horse is characterised by a high prevalence of the Anatolian specific haplogroup G (45%), followed by the Western Eurasian specific haplogroups L and M (both about 21%). In the Hungarian Nonius breed we found the highest frequency of the Western Eurasian haplogroup M (44%), followed by the Middle Eastern O’P (26%) and the Central Asian specific E (13%) and G (13%). The Serbian Nonius showed a distinct genetic profile, characterised by a high prevalence of the rare European haplogroup D (67%), followed by the Central Asian specific haplogroup G (17%). The high percentage of haplogroups shared especially between the Danubian and the Hungarian Nonius indicates the possibility of a common origin of the two breeds. In contrast, the Serbian Nonius showed a specific genetic profile, which can be explained by a different and independent origin.

Implementing the Coordination of the Law Enforcement Activities in the Process of Ensuring the Safety of Witnesses in Investigating Corruption-Related Crimes
Authors: Slavgorodskaya Olga
Published: August 2021

Introduction: anti-corruption issues are not only a domestic problem, but also an international one. The practice of organizing the coordination of the law enforcement activities in this direction can be successfully translated into the solution of these issues at the interstate level. Special attention in this area should be paid to the issues of combating corruption by increasing the participation of citizens. One type of such participation is witnessing. However, the participation of citizens as witnesses in the investigation of corruption-related crimes has only positive prospects if they understand not only the importance of involvement in the process of proof, but also the awareness of their protection from any encroachments. In this connection, further improvement of the activities aimed at protecting witnesses and providing them with an appropriate level of security requires the formation of a highly coordinated interaction of all the law enforcement agencies involved in this process. The purpose of the study: to identify the main areas of optimization of the existing ones and consider promising opportunities for improving the security of witnesses in the investigation of corruption-related crimes. The research objectives: in the study of this problem, to highlight its internal structure and to consider the possibilities of implementing joint international cooperation in the field under study. Methods: the methodological framework for this study is the system method, the methods of analysis, synthesis, the comparative legal and formal legal methods, and others. Results: the issues considered in the paper characterize the content of the procedure for ensuring the safety of witnesses through the prism of studying the existing features of the content of the entire essence of this process, which determines the need to create the conditions for the protection of the parties to criminal proceedings in the investigation of corruption-related crimes. The possible areas for improving the application of witness protection measures have been identified. It is assumed that the use of the full potential of the opportunities will ensure the safety of witnesses and will increase the active participation of citizens in the fight against corruption. It is emphasized that the full implementation of the research activity is only possible with the effective interaction of all its participants in the presence of a single coordination center. It provides for the possibility of implementing measures to achieve international cooperation in the area of the law enforcement activities under consideration. Conclusions: as a result of the study, the key types of threats against witnesses were identified, and the conditions for applying measures to ensure the safety of witnesses were revealed. The possibilities of implementing the interaction of the law enforcement agencies in the implementation of the state protection are established.

Authors: Manova Nina
Published: August 2021

Introduction: one of the most influential actors in the system of law enforcement agencies of any state, in any system of criminal proceedings, is the prosecutor; in this connection, the purpose of the work was to study his role in coordinating the activities of the bodies of inquiry and preliminary investigation in the implementation of criminal prosecution. Methods: the methodological framework for the work consists of the general scientific (dialectical, systemic, structural-functional, logical, etc.) and the specific scientific (formal-legal, comparative-legal, etc.) research methods. Results: the author’s position presented in the paper is based on the analysis of the legislative regulation, the knowledge accumulated in the theory of the criminal procedure and practical experience of the coordination and personal implementation of the criminal prosecution activities by the prosecutor in the pretrial stages of the criminal process. Conclusions: as a result of the study, the role of the prosecutor as the organizer and head of the criminal prosecution carried out by the inquirer and the investigator is justified; the mistakes made in reforming the procedural position of the prosecutor in pre-trial proceedings are revealed; the essential components in the real model of the prosecutor’s activity that were not taken into account by the legislator are identified: the nature of the prosecutor’s relationships with other participants in the process and his key role in the implementation of criminal prosecution (his responsibility for the legality of the pre-trial criminal prosecution, and the duty to maintain the public prosecution in court).
Article 176 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation: The Problems of Application and the Ways of Improvement
Authors: Berkovskaya Saida
Published: August 2021

Introduction: at present, it is impossible to imagine a modern market economy without loans. This is also evidenced by the data of the Bank of Russia on the volume of business lending. In the Russian criminal legislation, one of the barriers to the development of negative trends in lending is Article 176 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. However, in the law enforcement practice, there are problems with the application of Article 176 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. Purpose: to identify the problems of application of Article 176 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and identify the ways to solve them. Methods: the methodological framework for the study is based on the methods of scientific cognition, which include the historical-legal, comparative-legal, formal-legal, logical and systematic approaches. Results: the paper discusses the problems of applying Article 176 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, which establishes the liability for illegal receipt of credit and preferential credit conditions, as well as for illegal receipt of a state target loan, as well as its use for other purposes. To solve these problems, it is necessary to improve the disposition of the criminal law norm on credit fraud. Conclusions: as a result of the conducted research, it is established that currently in Russia, lending is an important tool for financing entrepreneurship. At the same time, under the influence of various factors, the cases of non-repayment of loans to the credit institutions have become more frequent. In this regard, the legal solutions are needed that can affect the growth of the negative processes in the field of lending, in particular, it is necessary to improve the criminal law provision providing for the liability for illegal obtaining of credit.

OBJECTIVES The present study is aimed at observing the physiological response imagery running with an avatar in 3D virtual reality (VR) and to explore the differences in physiological responses between imagery running with and without an avatar in 3D VR.METHODS We randomly assigned 32 healthy adults to either a group with Avatar (n = 19) or a group without (n = 13). The group with avatar performed imagery exercise with an avatar in 3D VR and the group without Avatar performed it without an avatar in 3D VR. Both groups were instructed to mentally imagine performing running in VR without executing actual physical movements. We recorded electro-physiological data before, during, and after the 20-min intervention. We also measured the participants’ level of presence and intensity of experienced cybersickness.RESULTS In the group with Avatar, all physiological responses increased from the resting to the intervention period. The group with Avatar also showed a higher level of presence and fewer cybersickness symptoms than the group without Avatar.CONCLUSIONS The results suggest imagery running with an avatar in 3D VR might be effective as an alternative exercise.
Geosynthetic encased column-supported embankment: behavior with and without basal geogrid
Authors: Zhang X. , Rajesh S. , Chen J.-F. , Wang J.-Q.
Published: August 2021

Centrifuge model tests were performed to investigate the beneficial effect of the basal geogrid in improving the performance of geosynthetic encased column (GEC)-supported embankments. The digital image correlation (DIC) technique was adopted to understand the deformation behavior of GEC-supported embankment models. The mobilized tensile strain at various locations on the model basal geogrid was quantified using strain gauge-based instrumentation. The results from the centrifuge test indicate that vertical and lateral displacement of the GECs and surrounding soil has been significantly reduced with the inclusion of basal geogrid in the embankment. Moreover, the differential settlement between the GECs and surrounding soil due to embankment loading were significantly reduced with the inclusion of basal geogrid, thereby the distress in the embankment resting on soft foundation can be avoided. The basal geogrid in the embankment has enhanced the stability of the embankment and improved the load transfer between the GECs and surrounding soil. The maximum mobilized tensile strain in the basal geogrid occurred near the shoulder of the embankment, which indicates the resistance offered by the basal geogrid in preventing the differential settlement between the GECs and surrounding soil.
Extended Back-EMF Based Industrial Sensorless Drive System for PMSMs
Authors: GÖRDÜK Burak , YİLMAZ Murat
Published: August 2021

Field oriented control (FOC) of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM) is utilized in many industrial applications due to its high performance. Semiconductor manufacturers provide specialized solutions and tools for this technique. However, such solutions are protected with closed source codes. This reduces the flexibility and the performance of such systems. This paper presents the conducted studies of controller and embedded software design for FOC of a PMSM using extended back-electromotive force (EMF) observer. Observer is derived from motor analytical model. Accurate position and speed estimations are observed using the simulations. An inverter board is obtained from market and a controller board with microcontroller is designed. Extended back-EMF observer model is implemented in embedded software. Performance in nominal speed range with no-load and full-load along with transient loading is tested with a 3000 rpm industrial fan motor. The developed drive system is capable to operate down to 200 rpm and maintain stability under load disturbances, compensating the 10% speed error during nominal load transitions in one second. The developed drive system is fully capable to replace the existing closed source solutions with the benefits of having a robust and flexible structure that can be fine-tuned according to the application.
'A Hostile Environment': Failure of Composition in the Poetry of Anna Mendelssohn.
Authors: Rowe William
Published: August 2021

This essay examines the effects of incompleteness in Anna Mendelssohn’s poetry, when incompleteness constitutes a requirement to take the thought of the poem further, beyond and outside itself, especially in its refusal to be reconciled with reality as it exists. Taking composition to mean the integration of the materials of a poem into a whole, the argument seeks to show that Mendelssohn’s poems are not-whole, and do not construct a world, but on the contrary carry through an unappeasable criticism of the reality she lived, which is that of late twentieth-century Britain. Her work is in unremitting rebellion against language that covers over and permits misogyny, racism, class oppression, hatred of art, insipid living. She writes from a situation in which not-speaking is imposed, in which the speech organs themselves have been damaged and closed up. This condition carries a removal of the self from life, into a place of death. Another, contrary death, however, takes place in her poetry: that of the self that passes through a disintegration, which Mendelssohn places at the heart of ecstatic experience of life. She excoriates those who want to remove the extreme aliveness of lyrical language from life and poetry. The law is what gives permission to that suppression: her poetry repeatedly moves against the actions of the law as it deadens life and language. Mendelssohn’s poetry is an account, implacable and without resentment, of a life lived inside and against personal and historical suffering.
The Pandemic's Impact on Credit Risk: Averted or Delayed?

Published: August 2021

The COVID-19 recession resulted in historic unemployment and a significant shock to much of the service sector. Despite these macroeconomic challenges, banks' risk-based capital buffers remain high and the number of bank failures remains low. Government relief programs, including the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, both directly and indirectly helped stabilize bank balance sheets during the crisis.
Political Connections, Allocation of Stimulus Spending, and the Jobs Multiplier
Authors: Choi Joonkyu , Penciakova Veronika , Saffie Felipe
Published: August 2021

Using American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) data, we show that firms lever their political connections to win stimulus grants and that public expenditure channeled through politically connected firms hinders job creation. We build a unique database that links information on campaign contributions, state legislative elections, firm characteristics, and ARRA grant allocation. Using exogenous variation in political connections based on ex-post close elections held before ARRA, we causally show that politically connected firms are 38 percent more likely to secure a grant. Based on an instrumental variable approach, we also establish that a one standard deviation increase in the share of politically connected ARRA spending lowers the number of jobs created per $1 million spent by 7.1 jobs. Therefore, the impact of fiscal stimulus is not only determined by how much is spent, but also by how the expenditure is allocated across recipients.
What's Wrong with Annuity Markets?
Authors: Verani Stéphane , Yu Pei Cheng
Published: August 2021

We show that the supply of life annuities in the U.S. is constrained by interest rate risk. We identify this effect using annuity prices offered by U.S. life insurers from 1989 to 2019 and exogenous variations in contract-level regulatory capital requirements. The cost of interest rate risk management accounts for at least half of the average life annuity markups or eight per- centage points. The contribution of interest rate risk to annuity markups sharply increased after the great financial crisis, suggesting new retirees' opportunities to transfer their longevity risk are unlikely to improve in a persistently low interest rate environment.
The Factor Structure of Disagreement
Authors: Herbst Edward , Winkler Fabian
Published: August 2021

We estimate a Bayesian three-dimensional dynamic factor model on the individual forecasts in the Survey of Professional Forecasters. The factors extract the most important dimensions along which disagreement comoves across variables. We interpret our results through a general semi-structural dispersed information model. The two most important factors in the data describe disagreement about aggregate supply and demand, respectively. Up until the Great Moderation, supply disagreement was dominant, while in recent decades and particularly during the Great Recession, demand disagreement was most important. By contrast, disagreement about monetary policy shocks seems to play a minor role in the data. Our findings can serve to discipline structural models of heterogeneous expectations. Keywords: Disagreement, Forecast Dispersion, Heterogeneous Expectations, Noisy Information, Dynamic Factor Model.

Published: August 2021

A atenção prestada aos sinais internos do corpo parece ter uma influência importante no funcionamento sexual da mulher, uma maior consciência interocetiva parece estar relacionada com um melhor funcionamento sexual, nas suas diversas dimensões. Neste sentido, pretendeu-se identificar, selecionar, avaliar e sintetizar as evidências científicas relevantes disponíveis sobre a relação da consciência interocetiva e o funcionamento sexual nas mulheres, através de uma revisão sistemática da literatura. Para a revisão foi levantada a pergunta de investigação: A consciência interocetiva apresenta uma influência relevante no funcionamento sexual feminino? Os estudos foram considerados elegíveis se se referissem à relação da consciência interocetiva ou mindfulness com aspetos do funcionamento sexual feminino, se fossem estudos empíricos, com uma amostra não-clínica. Foi realizada a pesquisa científica em várias bases de dados, a partir de palavras-chave e conceitos-chave. Foram seleccionados sete artigos científicos, que foram analisados e sintetizados. Todos os artigos são concordantes na importância da consciência interocetiva nos vários aspectos do funcionamento sexual avaliados, afetando também fatores psicológicos como a ansiedade, limitações psicológicas e satisfação sexual. Aumentar a consciência interocetiva pode aumentar o bem-estar sexual de mulheres que não fazem parte de uma população clínica, podendo mesmo protegê-las de disfunções sexuais futuras.

The aim of this study focused on knowing the existing relation between Savings, Financial Capability, Future forecast and Retirement funds in relation to gender, which allows to determine the Savings culture, while also proving if there is a relationship between Savings, Financial Capability, Future forecast and Retirement funds in relation to gender among the population known as Millennial generation. The study is non-experimental, approached from the hypothetic-deductive paradigm, it is descriptive and correlational, as well as transversally cut. The participants were 89 Millennials(73% women and 27% men), whoseagesranged between 18 to 35 years old. The sample was non-probabilistic by auto-determination, since the technique used was “snowball sampling”, which consisted on sharing the instrument through social networks. For the study, the survey designed by the Mexican National Commission of Retirement Savings System (2017) was used. For the data capture and analysis, the program SPSS Statistics v23 was used and the measurement technique was Pearson s Chi square with df and sig <0.05. The main results show how young millennials have not thought about retirement or at least, they are currently not taking action on this issue, hence, they have not decided to save money for the future at the moment.Regarding the parametricresults, it was determined that thereis no relationship between what millennials perceive about keeping a record of monthly income and expenses, what they would do in case they received an unexpected sum of money, receive a monthly pension, the retirement age, amount of the retirement pension and the knowledge of what a retirement fund is with the variable gender.

El colectivo de personas mayores es uno de los más afectados por esta pandemia. Es considerado grupo de riesgo y la edad es un factor relevante en la respuesta que da el organismo frente a la Covid-19. Para afrontar esta situación y esta enfermedad es importante que las personas se cuiden a nivel biopsicosocial. El presente trabajo tiene como fin exponer un programa de autocuidado y de activación psicológica: “Vacuna Emocional para la COVID-19”. Dirigido a personas mayores sin o con deterioro cognitivo leve, de manera individual o grupal, en diferentes entornos: residencial, domiciliario, centro de día, etc., valorando el efecto de este programa en la mejora de su calidad de vida, distinguiendo entre contextos rurales y urbanos. El programa consta de 10 sesiones de una hora y media de duración aplicándose dos sesiones semanales. En cada sesión se trabaja una pauta de autocuidado a través de un mensaje con forma de refrán que facilita la activación mnésica. Desde la Terapia de Aceptación y Compromiso y siguiendo el paradigma de la Atención Centrada en lo Importante para la Persona, se aborda la gestión emocional, la estimulación cognitiva y la activación conductual de manera que se produzca un mejor afrontamiento de la situación actual. Se enfatiza el proyecto de vida de cada participante a través de la orientación en valores. Utilizando un diseño cuasiexperimental pre-post con grupo control, se emplean los instrumentos: registros conductuales, escalas y cuestionarios que midan calidad de vida, ansiedad, depresión y evitación experiencial. Se espera una mejora en la salud y bienestar a través de la activación psicológica en la muestra diana respecto al grupo control. Se destaca la necesidad de este tipo de intervención psicológica en el ámbito gerontológico por su viabilidad, eficacia y demanda social.

En esta situación de pandemia de docencia no presencial en grupos grandes, cada vez es más frecuente que el alumnado pueda sufrir estrés académico y ansiedad ante los continuos retos que ha de afrontar como los exámenes, la situación económica, la adaptación a nuevas metodologías de enseñanza/aprendizaje que requieren un mayor uso de las TIC (Tecnologías de la Información y de la Comunicación). El objetivo del presente trabajo es analizar las diferencias en ansiedad percibida en función del curso y del género en una muestra de 203 estudiantes universitarios españoles pertenecientes en su mayoría a Ciencias de la Educación y Psicología. No se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en función del género en la variable ansiedad, pero sí se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en función del curso. Se utilizó un diseño ex post facto. Los datos obtenidos son relevantes para el diseño de acciones e intervenciones psicoeducativas para la prevención del estrés y ansiedad que contribuyan a la mejora del bienestar, calidad de vida y del rendimiento académico en estudiantes universitarios.
Auto-efficacite chez les meres allaitantes de nouveau-nes prematures

Published: August 2021

Le lait maternel est reconnu comme aliment idéal pour les nouveau-nés, y compris les prématurés, avec des avantages nutritionnels, biologiques, émotionnels et socio-économiques pour l’enfant et la famille. Pour les bébés prématurés, l’allaitement joue un rôle essentiel dans la mesure où il est associé à une réduction du temps d’hospitalisation et à divers états cliniques résultant d’une prématurité. Les études indiquent un faible taux d’allaitement parmi les mères de nouveau-nés prématurés et, souvent, un sevrage précoce. Actuellement, la littérature identifie l’auto-efficacité dans l’allaitement comme une variable importante qui influe sur les résultats de la réussite de l’allaitement. Afin d’identifier le principal instrument dédié à l’évaluation de l’auto-efficacité chez les mères allaitantes de bébés prématurés, une revue intégrative de la littérature a été réalisée sur les études, les évaluations et les instruments utilisés pour évaluer l’auto-efficacité chez les mères allaitantes des bébés prématurés. Il a été constaté que la Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale (BSES) est le principal instrument d’évaluation de la confiance d’une mère relativement à sa capacité d’allaiter. Pour ces mères, la Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form for Mothers of Ill or Preterm Infants (BSES-SFMIPI) permet de reconnaître les attentes et les expériences maternelles, d’identifier les mères de bébés prématurés à risque d’interrompre l’allaitement et aussi de proposer des stratégies individuelles pour encourager les mères et allaiter avec succès ces enfants.
