Purpose. To develop a modified antiglaucoma operation (MAO) for the combined simultaneous surgical treatment of glaucoma and cataracts and to evaluate the effectiveness of this antiglaucoma component in comparison with trabeculectomy and non-penetrating deep sclerectomy. Material and methods. 61 patients (65 eyes) with a combination of incomplete complicated cataract and previously unoperated POAG stages I–III. The patients were divided into 3 groups: 1st group (control) – 17 patients, 17 eyes with ultrasonic cataract phacoemulsification (PEC) and non-penetrating deep sclerectomy (NPDS); 2nd (control) group (25 patients, 28 eyes) of patients with PE and trabeculectomy (TE); 3rd (main) group (19 people, 20 eyes) – FEC with developed MAO (based on the NGSE technique with cyclodialysis, also including elements of iridocycloretraction and autosclercyclostomy). All patients underwent a comprehensive ophthalmological examination, which included the determination of visual acuity, kinetic perimetry, non-contact tonometry, biomicroscopy, ophthalmoscopy, and optical coherence tomography (OCT). Hypotensive and visual results were assessed a week later and in the long term after surgery. The maximum follow-up period for patients did not exceed 1.5 years (average 12.4 months). Results. Approximately equal hypotensive results in the long-term period were shown by combined operations, which included FEC with TE (absolute effect, i.e. without additional medication – in 65 % of cases) and MAO (respectively, in 60 %). A more modest result was recorded after FEC and NGSE – 41.7 %. However, the number of early postoperative complications after the latter turned out to be almost 2 times less than after simultaneous intervention with penetrating TE (28.5 %), and was quite comparable with that after FEC and NGSE (15 % and 11.8 %). At the same time, the best visual results in the studied terms were observed in the main (0.78 ± 0.06) and 1st control (0.70 ± 0.07) groups, the worst – after FEC (0.64 ± 0.05). Conclusion. Modified antiglaucoma surgery in combination with FEC in POAG surgery and complicated cataract in the long term provides a higher absolute hypotensive effect (60 %) than simultaneous surgical intervention using non-penetrating deep sclerectomy (41.7 %). At the same time, the developed operation is practically not inferior in this indicator to fistulizing trabeculectomy (65 %), but significantly exceeds it both in safety (the number of complications is almost 2 times less) and in visual acuity in the long term (0.78 ± 0.06 versus 0.64 ± 0.05, p < 0.05). Keywords: cataract, glaucoma, simultaneous combined surgery, phacoemulsification, modified antiglaucoma surgery

Purpose. А comparative study of accommodation disorders during the treatment of amblyopia in children with hyperopic anisometropia and amblyopia after femtolaser-assisted laser intrastromal keratomileusis (FS-LASIK) and children with contact correction. Material and methods. All of the patients were divided into two groups: I group consisted of 20 children who had FS-LASIK, performed according to indications in the amblyopic eye and II group consisted of 12 children who had contact correction. Results. After one year, the objective accommodative response (OAR) of the amblyopic eye was –1.8 ± 0.2 diopters in the 1st group and –1.42 ± 0.55 diopters in the 2nd group (рm-u = 0.04). At the end of the period, the first and second groups' objective reserves of relative accommodation (ORRA) were –1.5 ± 0.3 and –1.4 ± 0.4, respectively. The accommodogram coefficients also increased. The coefficient of accommodative response (CAO) in the first group was 0,1 ± 0,06 conv. units and microfluctuations coefficient (CMF) was 63,5 ± 4,1µF/min. CAO in the second group was within 0,0 ± 0,1 conv. units (рm-u = 0.12), CMF was 60.6 ± 4.0µF/min (рm-u = 0.05). Conclusion. The use of a soft contact lens in children provides a complete correction and improves amblyopic eye accommodation, resulting in an increase in OAR, ORRA and CMF. At the same time, the increase in OAR, CMF and CAO in children after femtosecond laser intrastromal keratomileusis in situ is more effective (p < 0.05). The improvement of these indicators is associated with the provision of permanent full correction of the amblyopic eye. Keywords: anisometropia, hypermetropia, FS-LASIK, contact correction

Purpose. To evaluate the effectiveness of intravitreal injection of an implant with dexamethasone as a starting monotherapy for macular edema in patients with diabetes mellitus. Material and methods. The study included 58 patients (58 eyes) with newly diagnosed diabetic macular edema who had not previously received special ophthalmic treatment. All patients underwent monthly spectral optical coherence tomography of the macular area, as well as visometry and tonometry during the observation period (6 months). Results. The maximum therapeutic effect was observed 3 months after the intravitreal injection of the implant with dexamethasone – in 94.8 %, it contributed to the improvement of the architectonics of the retinal layers, the reduction of retinal edema and the increase in visual acuity. Conclusion. In the course of this study, it was found that an intravitreal implant with dexamethasone can be recommended for newly diagnosed diabetic macular edema, since in just one injection, resolution of macular edema was achieved and high functional results persisted in 89.6 % of patients throughout the entire follow-up period.

The role of energy density for grid-scale batteries
Authors: Reber David , Jarvis Sam , Marshak Michael
Published: November 2022

Deep decarbonization of the power grid is only possible with mass-scale energy storage to overcome the spatiotemporal mismatch between supply from renewables and demand. Aqueous flow batteries fully decouple power and energy elements and can thus easily be scaled, a prerequisite for cheap long-duration energy storage, but low energy density is generally considered a key limitation of the technology. To date, the role of this metric for grid-scale installations has not been quantified, a crucial step for guiding further development of this potential trillion-dollar market. Here, we analyze the footprint of forty-four MWh-scale battery energy storage systems via satellite imagery and calculate their energy capacity per land area in kWh m−2, demonstrating that energy density is not critical for such installations and that the importance of this metric for grid-scale batteries is heavily overstated in academia. We suggest that a unique advantage of aqueous flow batteries, due to their intrinsic safety and vertical scalability, is their ability to provide reliable power in space-restricted sites, and we show that even with current chemistries and modest assumptions about storage tank sizes and footprints, areal energy densities five times as high as with the average lithium-ion based system can be achieved.
Dissociation Rate Calculation via Constant-force Steered Molecular Dynamics Simulation
Authors: Iida Shinji , Kameda Tomoshi
Published: November 2022

Steered molecular dynamics (SMD) simulations have been applied to molecular dissociation events by adding a harmonic force to molecules. Further, molecules are pulled at a constant velocity. However, instead of the constant-velocity pulling, we use a constant force: the constant-force SMD (CF-SMD) simulation. The CF-SMD simulation employs a constant force to reduce the activation barrier of molecular dissociation, thereby enhancing the dissociation event. Here, we present the capability of the CF-SMD simulation to estimate the dissociation rate at equilibrium. We performed all-atom CF-SMD simulations for NaCl and protein–ligand systems, producing dissociation rates at various forces. We extrapolated these values to the dissociation rate without a constant force using the Dudko–Hummer–Szabo model. We demonstrate that the CF-SMD simulations and the model predicted the dissociation rate in equilibrium. A CF-SMD simulation is a powerful tool for estimating the dissociation rate in a direct and computationally efficient manner.
Electron Acceptability of Cyclopenta-Fused Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons: Effect of One Electron
Authors: Ubaldo Pamela , Colley Nathan , Plunkett Kyle , Wang Lichang
Published: November 2022

To accurately predict the electron acceptability of cyclopenta-fused polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (CP-PAHs), we evaluated the performance of six functionals, B3LYP, CAM-B3LYP, HSEH1PBE, PBE, TPSS, and HCTH, using eight CP-PAHs. The results show that B3LYP is the best to obtain the energy of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO), the energy of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO), and the HOMO-LUMO energy gap of CP-PAHs with a mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.14 eV. The current study also demonstrates that calculations must be carried out for the anion of the corresponding CP-PAH in order to predict LUMO energy of an electron acceptor. Time-dependent CAM-B3LYP with the B3LYP optimized geometry predicts the absorption spectra of CP-PAHs most accurately with a MAE of 29 nm. The results from B3LYP and time-dependent CAM-B3LYP calculations coupled with the new practice in calculating LUMO energy presented in this work show that six of the eight CP-PAHs can accept electrons from the donor material poly(3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT), thus indicating they can be used as electron acceptors of P3HT. Moreover, three pairs of CP-PAHs were identified for their use as highly efficient organic solar cell materials through construction of a P3HT-acceptor1-acceptor2 architecture.

Published: November 2022

At the confined nanospace and/or nanoscale interface, the catalytic nature of active sites on the molecule level still remains elusive. Herein, with the catalytic hydride reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) over gold nanoparticles (NPs) catalysts as a prototype reaction, the influence of delicate change of microenvironment of catalytic active site on the reaction kinetics of 4-NP to 4-aminophenol (4-AP) with the introduction of varied alkali-metal ion (AM+) salt, have been deeply investigated. We demonstrate that structural water (SW) adsorbed on Au NPs in the form of {OH-·H2O@Au NPs} is the real catalytic active sites (not alone Au NPs), and in the presence of lithium chloride (LiCl), it shows the best catalytic performance. In addition, the isotope labeling and kinetic isotope effect (KIE) experiments evidences that, the reduction of 4-NP does not follow the classical Langmuir-Hinshelwood (L-H) bimolecular mechanism, but an interfacial SW dominated electron and proton transfer mechanism. The proposed mechanism answers why the dissociation of O-H bond of water is the rate-determining step (RDS) of 4-NP reduction, and, counter-intuitively, the solvent water is the hydrogen source of final product 4-AP, instead of sodium borohydride (NaBH4) reducer. Importantly, the co-existence of Li+ and Cl- ions synergistically stabilizes the transition state of reaction and accelerates the interfacial electron and proton transfer, consequently enhancing the reaction kinetics. The model of structural water as a bridge to transfer electron and proton at nanoscale interface is the reminiscent of working mechanism of photosystem two (PSII) for water splitting on Mn4CaO5 cluster.
Analysis of the authentication scheme based on the use of QR-code and webcam for Smart-Mobile devices
Authors: Kot Oleksandr I. , Svatovskiy Igor I.
Published: November 2022

The paper analyzes the necessity and expediency of using the method of user authentication based on QR-code and webcam for Smart-Mobile devices. Phishing attacks are one of the most serious threats faced by Internet users. Existing authentication schemes are not able to provide an adequate protection from these attacks, as evidenced by statistics collected by the companies researching cybersecurity. Therefore, the task of developing a secure authentication scheme for users, which can effectively counteract various types of phishing attacks is very important. The paper proposes a new authentication scheme for users, which allows them to log in to their accounts without remembering passwords or presenting other authentication tokens. According to the messaging protocol in the proposed scheme, the user must scan the dynamically generated QR-code using a smartphone application, then take their own photo via the webcam, and send it to the smartphone via a message from the server. Thus, the full authentication procedure requires minimal user involvement and is performed automatically. The results of evaluation and practical testing show that the proposed authentication scheme is quite reliable and can be used as a secure user authentication scheme for Smart-Mobile devices. The proposed authentication protocol is not only able to cope with attacks such as Real Time Man-In-The-Middle and Controlled Relay Man-In-The-Middle, but can also protect users from the effects of malicious browser extensions and substitution of authentic applications by malicious variants. In addition, the proposed scheme does not require users to have any authentication tokens or credentials, as all they need is to scan the QR-code and verify the image taken by their own webcam. That makes the use of the proposed scheme more convenient and easy for users as compared to other known authentication schemes. Currently, the application of the proposed scheme requires the use of HTTPS websites for the exchange of all data involved. Thus, the proposed protocol can be implemented to manage cookies securely in order to prevent the interception of session data.

Background: The present study was carried out during the period from October 2021 until March 2022, to detect the presence of parasites in stool samples of primary school children. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 1172 diarrheic stool specimens were randomly collected from primary school children of both sexes and different ages (6-12 years) visited Azadi Teaching Hospital, Heevi Pediatric Hospital, and Kurdistan private (Maternity and Pediatric) Hospital in Duhok city. RESULTS: In the current study, 40.96% (480/1172) of the examined specimens were positive for parasitic stages, they included 56.67% (272) males and 43.33% (208) females. High prevalence (40%) of intestinal parasites was reported among the age group 6-7 years. The recorded intestinal parasitic species included: Entamoeba histolytica which was the most dominant intestinal protozoa with infection rate of 21.67% (254/1172), followed by Enterobius vermicularis 13.48% (158/1172), then Giardia lamblia of about 5.46% (64/1172) , while Blastocystis hominis was reported only in four children at a rate of 0.34% (1172). As regards to some sociodemographic factors, significant correlations (P <0.05) were observed between the rates of infection with intestinal parasites and residency, dirty fingers and family size. While regarding other factors such as, literacy, hand washing and having pets the correlations were non-significant (P >0.05)
The Physics of the High-Temperature Superconducting Dynamo and No-Insulation Coils
Authors:   , Mataira-Cole Ratu
Published: November 2022

High-Tc superconducting (HTS) dynamos are a fascinating topic as practical engineering research preceded fundamental understanding, a lead then maintained for at least a decade. These devices, counter to expectation, produce a dc voltage where ‘textbook’ electromagnetism would predict a zero dc component. Simply by replacing a normal conducting stator in a standard dynamo with HTS conductor a dc — auto-rectifying — effect is created. This thesis reports my work in uncovering and codifying the underlying mechanism that gives rise to this effect — namely the broken symmetry that is usually present with Ohm’s law. An explanation of the dc voltage then leads to an explanation of the internal resistivity of such devices, which in turn allows more efficient dynamos to be designed, and modelled. The underlying logic of the HTS dynamo mechanism is also sufficiently strong to predict a complimentary electromagnetic device, a semiconducting dynamo, which remains to be experimentally verified.

Ultimately, such HTS dynamos could be used to energise powerful HTS magnets. The modelling techniques developed in this thesis also provide insight into the operational behaviour of no-insulation coils (NI coils). Such coils are extremely robust to mechanical, thermal, and electrical stresses and faults. A simple model of such coils is presented that captures their essential physics with enough fidelity to predict shielding and magnetisation currents inherent with HTS conductors and turn-to-turn current flow. These two technologies represent key topics for the future of high field HTS magnet technologies and their supporting systems.

The structure of the polymer [Cd(BTC)(H2O)2]n was identified by X-ray single-crystal crystallography. The complex’s stability and overall reactivity were examined at the B3LYP/6-311++G (d,p) level of theory whereas the lighter elements (H, C, and O) were studied using the LanL2DZ basis set. The electron distribution in the complex’s highest occupied molecular orbital is solely concentrated in a small area, with no electrons distributed over the cadmium. Consequently, the electrons in the complex’s lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) were dispersed equally. The Cd atom is partially obscured by charge delocalization in the LUMO. The natural bond orbital analysis supports the result for reactivity studies. The rate of absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) of the complex evaluated by molecular docking in a bid allowed comprehend the biological applicability. The [Cd(BTC)(H2O)2]n exhibited excellent binding affinity with proteins 1D7U and 2XCS, while by ADMET it is suggested that cytotoxicity and carcinogenicity were inactive. It is clearly shown that the complex has strong biological uses, notably for the treatment of microbial diseases.

Published: November 2022

The paper discusses the methods of blended learning, which for a number of objective reasons is one of the priorities of modern education. The most significant are prohibitions and restrictions aimed at preventing the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus in educational institutions, reducing school hours for teaching a foreign language and the development of special information technologies. The introduction of blended learning methods in higher, secondary, additional professional and corporate training makes it possible to compensate for the shortcomings in the case of using only one type of training. The presented table 1 lists the disadvantages of both full-time and e-learning. The paper describes some of the most popular basic models of blended learning: an inverted classroom, a change of work areas, an autonomous group, station rotation, extracurricular activities. The author presents the advantages of blended learning, which combines the technologies of traditional classroom and e-learning, which provides an optimal ratio of teacher-student interaction. Thanks to the use of this technique, optimal management of the educational process is accomplished and the saliency of the student increases, since they are responsible for the results of training and the choice of the method of academic work. The study considers the possibility of integrating the case study method into blended learning.

Published: November 2022

The research is connected with the implementation of state standards of personnel training according to the “Political Sciences and regional studies” classifier and the constant process of improving pedagogical techniques in teaching a foreign language in the professional training of higher education. The article discusses the information and technological possibilities of immersing students in the cultural environment of Spain in order to master the universal competencies of intercultural communication. The culture of everyday life and daily routine displayed in the linguistic paradigms of the Spanish language is proposed for consideration in the practice of language teaching. The author, using a set of methodological techniques and approaches, demonstrates teaching know-how and procedures for designing a communication environment. The technology of immersion in the everyday culture of the country through linguistic forms – universals allows us to realize the trend of modern education within the framework of democratization and humanization. The study of everyday life, its manifestations in the culture of a native speaker, their daily activities reveals opportunities to expand cultural idioms based on the principles of equality and partnership between the teacher and the student in the pedagogical process. Such a concept involves joint work on the goal and achievement of tasks in the learning process, determining the success effect of cooperation in the professional training of bachelors in the areas of “regional studies”, “international relations”, “political science”. The purpose of the study is to illustrate through the everyday culture of native Spanish speakers the possibilities of enhancing the cognitive activity of students and arranging a sequence of achieving indicators of universal and professional competence of a bachelor. Within the framework of the study, the author applied an interdisciplinary approach and used a set of methodological materials from Spanish and Russian foreign language teaching schools based on comparative, cultural and linguistic analysis.
POLYPHONY OF FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT FORMS

Published: November 2022

The postulation of assessment is tackled comparatively: in the realms of philosophy and pedagogy. The global mission of formative assessment is to enhance the results of cognitive activity by expanding the array of assessment procedures not only for subject, but also for meta-subject results, which is crucially important in online and blended learning. In activity pedagogy, formative assessment is recognized as an indispensable attribute of effective learning and a critical skill of pedagogical foresight, since it holds forth prompt feedback from the teacher at all stages of mastering the educational program. On the examples of tasks for video lectures hosted by TED.com., the author proves that the polyphony of five Cs opens up opportunities not only to teach, but also to inspire. The article traces the extent to which not only the educational course, but also the assessment model can be inverted; reveals a teacher’s readiness for the necessary curriculum adaptation. The author proposes a clear algorithm for implementing the formative assessment model in the Just in Time Teaching (JiTT) paradigm: videolectures – classroom collaboration – observation – feedback – evaluation. The ‘Effort grading’ material of the Mazur Group JiTT Rubric is offered as a resource with practical recommendations. The article features the results of students-economists’ survey on their perception of formative assessment.

Published: November 2022

Local honeys sold in public markets, small shops or by individuals are not controlled by public services. Currently, information about its quality is non-existent. The objective of this work was therefore to assess the quality of local honeys marketed in Korhogo town. Samples were collected from twenty local honey sellers located in markets and certain neighborhoods of Korhogo town. Then, their physicochemical parameters were determined. The results showed the existence of significant difference (p < 0.5) between the honey samples for all the parameters studied. The amber colored samples (86 – 113 mm Pfund) were the most numerous (55%) compared to the light amber colored ones and the dark colored ones. The electrical conductivity of these honeys oscillated between 115.67 and 765.67 µS/cm. The refractive index, degree brix and density ranged from 1.4884 to 1.5014; 79.15 to 84.45% and 1.4085 to 1.4442, respectively. The values of moisture content varied between 14.15 and 19.23 g/100g, those of pH and free acidity ranged from 3.42 to 4.49 and from 10.67 to 28.89 meq.kg-1, respectively and those of total acidity and hydroxymethylfurfural content oscillated respectively from 14.67 to 40.22 meq.kg-1 and from 0.56 to 30.05 mg.kg-1. All these physicochemical parameters varied within the limits proposed by the Codex Alimentarius Commission. This suggests that the honeys marketed in Korhogo town meet the quality criteria required for its consumption. However, for further study, their nutrients should be identified and quantified, and their microbiological quality assessed.
An audit on the management of hypernatremia in a district general hospital in the UK
Authors: Indrajit Talapatra
Published: November 2022

There are no specific clinical features of hypernatremia (raised serum sodium). It is usually diagnosed incidentally on blood testing. Other biochemical parameters for renal function, hyperglycaemia and hypercalcaemia also need to be checked. The underlying cause of hypernatraemia needs to be identified and in the process the plasma and urine osmolalities need to be measured. Hypernatraemia can lead to serious complications including subarachnoid and subdural bleed resulting from rupture of bridging veins and dural sinus thrombosis, leading to brain damage or death. Also, rapid correction of chronic hypernatremia causes cerebral oedema, seizure, and brain damage. Therefore, proper management of hypernatraemia is very important and fluid management should correct both circulating volume & water deficits. Hypernatraemia should be corrected gradually over 48-72 hours, particularly in longer and unknown duration.
Международное научное сотрудничество российских вузов в новых условиях: ограничения и возможности

Published: November 2022

Начиная с первого пакета санкций 2014 г. в России замедлилось развитие международного сотрудничества, а в 2022 г. в странах Запада были введены ограничения на какие-либо институциональные взаимодействия со всеми российскими научными организациями, включая университеты. Фактически совместные исследования были прекращены, и неформальные контакты остались только на уровне отдельных ученых. В новых условиях опять обострились проблемы «утечки умов» и обеспечения исследовательского процесса – от закупки оборудования до доступа к научной информации, что актуализирует поиск путей сохранения включенности университетской науки в мировую. В статье, на основе анализа недавних трендов и текущей ситуации в области международной научной кооперации, предложены направления поддержания международных связей российских университетов. Это создание зеркальных лабораторий, взаимодействия с представителями диаспоры, а также привлечение иностранных ученых к участию, в разном качестве, в российских научных журналах.
Процесс обесценивания человеческого капитала в России
Authors: Слепенкова Ю.М.
Published: November 2022

В исследовании моделируется процесс динамики накопленного человеческого капитала России. Согласно проведенным расчетам, новый формирующийся человеческий капитал пока еще компенсирует текущие потери, однако уже в ближайшем будущем ожидается недостаток нового введенного в действие человеческого капитала. Это вызвано как низкими затратами на него, так и демографическими проблемами в России, включая снижение рождаемости и рост доли нетрудоспособного населения. Не помогает решению проблемы и сложившаяся миграционная политика: доля иммигрантов, имеющих высшее или среднее профессиональное образование, низка, тогда как среди эмигрантов в экономически развитые страны аналогичный показатель оказался достаточно высоким.

Conversando con Luigi Mariucci sulla sfera politica e il diritto del lavoro
Authors: Martelloni Federico
Published: November 2022

The contribution deals with the theme of the relationship between the political sphere and labour law in Luigi Mariucci’s intellectual and cultural experience. The Author highlights that, according to Mariucci, labour law has been a functional substitute for political activity, his first passion, but also a prerequisite for political action, because it helped him to understand and interpret the social power distribution in society. Lastly, and above all, for Mariucci, labour law has represented, as such, a field of political intervention, not only in terms of legal policy but also in terms of the interpretation and reconstruction of legal institutions and norms.

Az Európai Unió közpolitikai hatásának percepciói : A magyarok tudása és preferenciái az EU befolyásáról
Authors: Bíró-Nagy András , Szászi Áron József
Published: November 2022

E tanulmány a magyar társadalom tudását és preferenciáit térképezi fel az Európai Unió közpolitikai hatásáról. A kutatás keresztmetszeti kérdőíves adatok leíró és regressziós elemzésére épül. Az általános EU-s ismeretekre, illetve az uniós és a tagállami hatáskörökre vonatkozó tudás terén is megállapítható, hogy a megkérdezettek bő harmada tekinthető tájékozottnak. A magyarok többsége nem rendelkezik tehát megfelelő tudással arról, hogy valójában milyen területeken van befolyása az Európai Uniónak a hazai folyamatokra. A kormánypárti választóknak szignifi kánsan alacsonyabb az általános EU-s tudásszintje, mint az ellenzéki szavazóknak, de a szakpolitikai tudásszint terén fordított a helyzet. Ennek oka, hogy a fi deszes választók kevesebb szakterületről gondolják, hogy tagállami irányítás alatt áll, mint az ellenzéki szimpatizánsok, és ez az érzet közelebb áll az EU és a tagállamok közötti valós hatáskörmegosztáshoz. Eredményeink megerősítik, hogy a kormánypártiság és a jobboldali öndefi níció negatív hatással van az integráció további mélyítéséről alkotott véleményekre. Fontos továbbá, hogy azon szakterületeken, amelyeken Magyarország uniós csatlakozása óta tényszerűen a legnagyobb arányban vannak jelen az európai eredetű jogszabályok, az EU befolyásának támogatottsága is magasabb. Tanulmányunk rámutat arra is, hogy az integráció további mélyítésének komoly korlátai lehetnek a magyar társadalomban, és erős bázisa van a nemzeti szuverenitás politikájának. Az általunk vizsgált 19 közpolitikai területből 8 olyan terület van, ahol a magyarok abszolút többsége szuverenista állásponton van, míg 9 szakpolitika esetén az integrációpártiak vannak abszolút többségben, a bevándorlás és az egészségügy kérdésében pedig egyik oldalnak sincs többsége. Emellett kiemelendő, hogy az Európai Unió kizárólagos hatáskörébe csak a magyar társadalom igen kis része utalna döntéseket: az Európai Egyesült Államok támogatói minden közpolitikai területen 10%-nál kevesebben vannak. A hatásköri kérdésekben tapasztalható megosztottság azt jelzi előre, hogy az EU jövőjével kapcsolatos viták is polarizálhatják a jövőben a magyar közvéleményt.
Demokratikus innovációk a magyar pártok választási programjaiban
Authors: Oross Dániel , Kiss Alexandra
Published: November 2022

A tanulmány célja egyfelől azonosítani a magyar pártok választási programjaiban megjelenő demokratikus innovációkat, másfelől elemezni azt, hogy az egyes pártok programjai milyen mértékben foglalkoznak azokkal. A demokratikus innovációk és a magyar pártok című kutatás keretében készült dokumentumelemzés azt vizsgálta, milyen mértékben foglalkoznak a magyar pártok a demokratikus innovációkhoz kapcsolható ígéretekkel választási programjaikban a 2006–2018 közötti időszakban. Az eredmények alapján a demokratikus innovációkhoz köthető ígéretek mintegy két százalékát képezik a magyar pártok nyilvánosságra hozott választási programjainak. A vizsgált programokban a képviseleti demokrácia és a közvetlen demokrácia részvételi intézményeinek reformját célzó javaslatok vannak túlsúlyban.
MELACAK SEJARAH DAN PENGGUNAAN NAGHAM ARABI DI INDONESIA
Authors: Noorhidayati Salamah , Farihin Hibbi , Aziz Thoriqul
Published: November 2022

There are two elements of art in the Quran which come from two different sources. First, from the internals of Quran, such as language style, diction, correlation between verses, and others. Second, from the external of the Quran, such as how to read, rhythm (nagham/langgam), and others. This study focusedd on the second part, namely the rhythm (nagham) in Quranic verses and more specifically on the Arabic rhythm of Arab. The history of the existence of the rhythm in Quran verses in the Islamic world has existed since Islam appeared in the world. However, in Indonesia, the history of Arabic rhythm is still confusing. Therefore, this study aimed to trace the early history of the entry and use of the Arabic rhythm in Indonesia. This research used descriptive-historical method. This research found the early history of the emergence of the nagham of Arab in Indonesia which is inseparable from the network of archipelago scholars with the Middle East in the twentieth century. Nagham of Arab has continued to develop since the establishment of Jam'iyyatu al-Qurra’ wa al-Huffa>z (JQH) in the 1950s and the presence of PTIQ and IIQ. Arabic rhythm is used in Indonesia in various occasions, such as being used as a competition (MTQ), reading at the beginning of every event, reading of Quran (tadarus), and Quranic recitation concert.
Evolusi Nama-Nama Tuhan dalam Islam
Authors: Umi Wasilah  , Zaimuddin Zaimuddin
Published: November 2022

The discourse on the study of the evolution of the names of God in Islam with the perspective of Muhammad Abid al-Jabiri's chronological interpretation, has an emphasis on the realm of the revelation of the Qur'an. The purpose of this study is to find out, examine, and reveal the evolution of the names of God as outlined by al-Jabiri in his chronological interpretation. This research was assisted by qualitative research with library research methods, accompanied by documentation as data collection. While the data analysis is in the form of descriptive-analysis with research theory taken from the perspective of Hans Georg Gadamer. The result of this study is an understanding that the name of God appears from the identifiers of the names Rab, Allah, and Ar-Rahman, which is then followed by the introduction of al-asma’ al-husna afterwards. In al-Jabiri's perspective the use of the word Rab is related to prophethood (nubuwwah) and divinity (rububiyah). Furthermore, regarding the mention of God's name with the word Allah, it is related to the problem of worshiping Allah (uluhiyyah). Lastly, ar-Rahman lafadz in the mention of Allah was born from the revelation of Surah al-Fatihah. The existence of this ar-Rahman lafadz later became the beginning of the birth of the names al-asma’ al-husna as the mention of the names of Allah.
Nuevas perspectivas de objetivos en Trabajo Social Sanitario en Atención Primaria de Salud
Authors: Calvo-Rojas Valentín
Published: November 2022

La intervención de las y los profesionales del trabajo social se ve a menudo limitada por criterios restrictivos que conllevan la exclusión de un segmento de población con problemas psicosociales. Para situar este problema específico, este artículo analiza el uso excesivo de la consulta en atención primaria de la salud. Los resultados de los estudios en esta área son consistentes al vincular a los usuarios que hacen un uso excesivo de la consulta con problemas sociodemográficos y sociofamiliares, así como a problemas psicológicos, incluyendo la depresión, la ansiedad y un estilo de afrontamiento pasivo. Este estudio explora la respuesta del trabajo social sanitario al uso excesivo de la consulta en atención primaria de salud. Para ello, se realiza una revisión narrativa de la literatura sobre hiperfrecuentación o sobreutilización y Trabajo Social, en centros de atención primaria, publicada entre los años 1980 y 2020. Esta revisión refleja que el trabajo social sanitario ha tenido un impacto limitado sobre dicho uso excesivo. Finalmente, se concluye que el soporte social afectivo ofrece un marco conceptual amplio que integra la enfermedad, como una realidad que se presenta homogénea, y la naturaleza subjetiva y contextual de los síntomas.

The main objective of this study is to investigate the influence of memorable festival experiences (MFEs) on revisit intention from the perspective of Arab visitors in the context of the Jerash Festival of Culture and Arts (JFCA) in Jordan. The quantitative research method was used in the research. Questionnaires were used to collect the data. Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) was used in the data analysis to test the research hypothesis. The study found that MFEs influence Arab visitors’ revisit intention. It also confirmed the validity of Event Experience Scale (EES) that constitutes four dimensions: affective engagement, cognitive engagement, physical engagement, and experiencing novelty, in the context of Arab visitors. Theoretical and managerial implications are discussed. Theoretically, the study provides insight into the influence of MFEs on Arab visitors’ revisit intentions. It also evaluates the reliability and validity of EES for the first time in the context of Arab cultural festivals. Practically, the study paved the way for JFCA organisers, planners, managers, and marketers to plan, develop, and market useful festival tourism strategies. It is also envisaged that the information obtained in this study will help promote the enhancement of visitors’ experiences at JFCA to attract and retain more visitors in the globally competitive event industry.
